Tsunamis are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, which is an area known for its tectonic activity. This region includes the coasts of countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the west coast of the United States. Areas near subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide, are particularly prone to generating tsunamis.

Do a tsunamis occur during a divergent boundary?

Tsunamis are unlikely to occur at divergent boundaries because the movement of the tectonic plates generally does not generate the large and sudden displacements of water required to form a tsunami. Tsunamis are more commonly associated with subduction zones or underwater earthquakes where there is vertical movement of the seafloor.
