Question

Why would the tsunami be so catastrophic to New Zealand?

Answer 1

Answer: A tsunami would be catastrophic to New Zealand because New Zealand is a small island, and is located in the Pacific Ocean, which is an area prone to Earthquakes and underwater land slides, that cause tsunamis. New Zealand is also 2,587 miles away from the nearest non-small island aid and relief support.

In short, if you can think of a reason a Tsunami is bad, multiply that by ten, and apply it to the small, isolated island of New Zealand.

I hope this helps! Have an amazing day!!
