The tsunami that struck Arica, Chile, in 1868 caused significant destruction, resulting in the loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 people were killed, and many buildings, including homes, schools, and churches, were destroyed or severely damaged. The inundation also devastated the local economy, disrupting trade and agriculture. The event highlighted the vulnerability of coastal communities to natural disasters and led to increased awareness and preparedness measures in the region.

Arica is nearer to the Tropic of Capricorn than La Paz. Arica is located in Chile near the Tropic of Capricorn, whereas La Paz is located in Bolivia further north of the Tropic of Capricorn.
A tsunami is like any other natural disaster it ruins everything, but a tsunami only ruins it if you live near the ocean. The ocean because that's where the underwater earthquakes happen and cause tsunamis.
Tsunamis can cause significant destruction to coastal areas by flooding, eroding shorelines, and damaging infrastructure. The force of a tsunami can also impact the ocean floor, triggering landslides, and potentially leading to further seismic activity and changes in the Earth's surface.
Yes, before a tsunami hits the shore, it can cause the sea surface level to recede significantly. This is known as a drawback effect, where water is pulled away from the coast as the tsunami energy builds up. Once the tsunami makes landfall, the water is then quickly pushed back towards the shore with tremendous force.
A tsunami may affect the land by damaging plants, trees, buildings can break down and beaches.

The effect we now call tsunami has been happening since there have been oceans on the planet Earth (billions of years). There was no "First Tsunami"; the Japanese have been calling the effect 'tsunami' for many centuries.
It is unknown what places will be affected by the next mega tsunami.
It created the tsunami.
