Tsunamis occur most often along countries which border the Pacific "Rim of Fire", or "Ring of Fire'. One end of this region of high seismic and volcanic activity begins at New Zealand, heading northwest to Indonesia (completely bypassing Australia) and then west to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, northeast along the Asian coastline, east to North America and then south along the western North American coastline. Roughly horse-shoe shaped, the Ring of Fire extends about 40,000km long, and tsunamis can be generated anywhere along this rim.

What happens to sea waves when an earthquake is generated?

Sometimes a tsunami can occur after an earthquake has taken place. You can know when a tsunami will occur by the way the water reacts at a beach near the ocean. The water will start to pull away from the beach faster than a tide will. When this happens, the tsunami is about to strike.
