What year does a tsunami occur?

There are no years that we can expect a tsunami, they are caused by a multitude of things, though typically arise due to seismic activity, which in itself is very difficult to speculate and any signs that a tsunami may occur would likely be very close to the time that it would occur itself. As a result, tsunamis are difficult to prepare for and for the most part have completely unexpected implications on the affected regions, such as a tsunami moving extremely fast towards a populated city that is unaware of its existence.
