Tsunamis primarily occur in regions near tectonic plate boundaries, especially where earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or underwater landslides can displace large volumes of water. Namibia, located along the southwest coast of Africa, is situated away from major tectonic plate boundaries and experiences relatively low seismic activity, making it less prone to tsunamis. Additionally, the geography of the ocean floor along the Namibian coast does not favor the generation of large waves typical of tsunamis. Thus, the combination of these factors contributes to the rarity of tsunamis in Namibia.
What else can I help you with?
Does tsnamis occur in some places than other?
Tsunamis can occur in more places than others because of their location. Usually, areas which see many underwater earthquakes are more prone to have tsunamis. The west coast and Hawaii are two places where tsunamis can take place.
Do tsunamis only happen in islands?
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.
Do tsunamis happen in the same or in different places?
Tsunamis can occur anywhere in the world. All that is required is an upheaval in the earths crust on the seabed somewhere to get one rolling.
Do tsunamis occur in summer?
Tsunamis can occur in any season. They are not a seasonal event.
Do tsunamis occur in winter?
no
Which continent do tsunamis happen most?
Since Tsunamis occur mostly in the Pacific Ocean, we can assume that they would most affect Asia, Australia, and other places along that side of the world.I hope that (somewhat) helped! :)
Do tsunamis occur twice a year?
Tsunamis do not have any sort of regular occurrence.
Do tsunamis occur in deserts?
No, tsunamis do not occur in deserts. Tsunamis are large ocean waves typically caused by underwater seismic activity, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, and they affect coastal areas, not deserts.
What temperature do tsunamis occur in?
Tsunamis are not a weather-related phenemenon. Their occurence does not depend on temperature.
Can tsunamis happen in lakes or fresh water?
tsunamis occur when earthquakes happen. Poo
Why do tsunamis only occur in certain areas?
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.
Where do tsunamis occur more?
Hawaii and beyond.
