Why are there more tsunami's in the Pacific ocean than the Atlantic?
The Pacific Ring Of Fire (look it up on google) is located in the Pacific ocean. It is due to have very active volcanoes and earthquakes. The pacific ocean means "Peaceful sea" but the Pacific is way more active than the Atlantic! The Atlantic is only due to one volcano that can reach the United States which is Cumbre Vieja (look it up on google) that is located in the Canary Islands northwest of Africa.
But remember - tsunamis can happen in the Atlantic too, because of volcanic eruptions and landslides and underwater earthquakes (remember the Haiti earthquake).
Though since the pacific ring of fire has more volcanoes and earthquakes, they get many more tsunamis than Atlantic.
Hope this helps, and look for "Pacific Ring of fire" and "Cumbre Vieja" on google! :)

If you travel all the way south to the panama canall there is a wooden boarder line stating where the pacific starts and where the Atlantic starts.
