Tectonic plate activity is more common in some places than others. When this plates collide, the resulting force moves the water in the ocean. The force is so powerful it creates massive waves called Tsunamis.
No, tsunamis can occur in any coastal area around the world where there is an undersea earthquake, volcanic eruption, or landslide. Islands are not the only places where tsunamis can occur.
In all likelihood, never. The geology in and around Lake Ontario cannot produce tsunamis. The only way a tsunami could possibly occur there would be if an asteroid struck the lake, which is extremely unlikely to occur.
A tsunami that is only a few feet high in is typically considered a minor or small tsunami. While it may not cause widespread damage or destruction, even small tsunamis can be dangerous to coastal areas and should be taken seriously in terms of evacuation and preparedness.
The shortest tsunami, in terms of wave height and wavelength, is often referred to as a "micro-tsunami." These tsunamis can occur due to small-scale disturbances, such as underwater landslides or small meteorite impacts. Typically, micro-tsunamis can be less than a meter in height and may only affect local areas, often going unnoticed by the general public. Their effects are minimal compared to larger tsunamis, which can travel across entire ocean basins.
They don't. A tsunami is an ocean wave. For a tsunami to occur, it needs a huge fetch (distance) to run. To date, the only method of creating one is major shifts in the earth, particularly around faults.

No. Tsunamis can also occur as a result of landslides, volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, and underwater explosions.
In all likelihood, never. The geology in and around Lake Ontario cannot produce tsunamis. The only way a tsunami could possibly occur there would be if an asteroid struck the lake, which is extremely unlikely to occur.
No. The only one in newer time is the one that occurred on Dec. 26, 2004.

Aftershocks are the results of the Pressure Plates being unstable, and are still adjusting or moving. The earthquake from September 4, 2010 in Christchurch will be having aftershocks for about 1 and a half more years.
