Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.
You are safer in the middle of the ocean, where a tsunamis is barely even noticeable. It only becomes dangerous when it enters shallow water.
A tsunami caused by an earthquake is generally more dangerous than the earthquake itself. Tsunamis can travel long distances in the ocean and cause widespread devastation when they hit coastal areas. They can inundate low-lying regions with powerful currents and flooding, resulting in significant loss of life and property damage.
One tsunami would be the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Tsunami waves can occur in the middle of the ocean as a result of undersea earthquakes or landslides. These waves may not be as noticeable in open ocean areas due to their long wavelengths, but they can build up in height and strength as they approach coastal areas.
The term "Indian Ocean Tsunami" is used because the tsunami affected multiple countries surrounding the Indian Ocean, not just Indonesia. The impact of the tsunami was felt in countries such as Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and others, leading to the broader geographical reference in the name.
it was in INDIAN OCEAN it was a 9.3 earthquake.
In the Indian ocean right smack dab in the middle
None in the open ocean because in the open ocean the tsunami waves are not very large. They only build as they hit shallow water.

No, it is not possible to swim under a tsunami. Tsunamis are powerful and dangerous ocean waves that can easily overwhelm and drag swimmers along with their force. It is important to evacuate to higher ground if a tsunami is approaching.

Tsunami is a Japanese were meaning "harbor wave." This name comes from the fact that a tsunami is not noticeable in deep open ocean and only becomes dangerous in the shallow water near shore. Japanese fishermen and sailors would return from uneventful trips to find the harbors destroyed. The term "tidal wave" is falling out of favor, because tsunamis have nothing to do with tides.
The Tsunami that devastated Indonesia and other countries in 2004 was in the Indian Ocean.
