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! :)
What else can I help you with?
What do more tsunamis occur in the pacific ocean or in the Atlantic ocean?
in the pacific ocean because of the ring of fire (where a lot of active volcanoes are)
Why do tusnamis ocur in the pacific ocean and not the Atlantic ocean?
Tsunamis can occur in any large body of water. The main reason they are more common in the Pacific is because of the large amount of tectonic activity. Tsunamis are usually caused by either an underwater earthquake, or a near water volcanic eruption. Due to the amount of volcanos in the Pacific Ocean region and the tectonic activity (which causes earthquakes) there are many more tsunamis in the Pacific than in the Atlantic.
Has a tsunami ever hit the Pacific Ocean?
Yes, tsunamis have hit the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is known for being part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is an area prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity. These events can trigger tsunamis that can affect countries bordering the Pacific Ocean.
Are more sharks in the Atlantic or pacific ocean?
Atlantic
Why would the west coast of the US get more tsunami than the east coast?
The west coast of the US is more vulnerable to tsunamis than the east coast because tsunamis are more likely to be generated in the Pacific Ocean due to tectonic plate movements along the Ring of Fire. The Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate along the west coast, which can lead to large underwater earthquakes that trigger tsunamis. Additionally, the Pacific Ocean is much deeper than the Atlantic Ocean, allowing tsunamis to travel faster and with more energy.
Pacific ocean or Atlantic ocean coldest?
Atlantic is colder becauseit is near the Arctic ocean more than the pacific is .
Do more US rivers flow into the Pacific Ocean or Atlantic Ocean?
Atlantic
What is saltier the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean?
Before and after I am done urinating in Mediterranean beaches, the water is much saltier than the Atlantic due to the fact that the Mediterranean loses more water to evaporation than it receives from rivers.
MNy more states border the Atlantic than the pacific?
More states border the Atlantic Ocean than do the Pacific Ocean. There are 14 states that border the Atlantic and only five that border the Pacific.
Would the Atlantic and the pacific ocean cover more surface area than the pacific and Indian ocean?
The pacific ocean.
