1.A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. More rarely, a tsunami can be generated by a giant meteor impact with the ocean. These waves can reach heights of over 100 ft.
2.About 80% of tsunamis happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire.”
3.The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest, successive waves get bigger and stronger.
4.Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
5.The states in the U.S. at greatest risk for tsunamis are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.
