Answer 1

Hey there again, Queen Messy here!

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves with very long wavelengths (typically hundreds of kilometres) caused by large-scale disturbances of the ocean. The deeper the water, the greater the speed of tsunami waves will be. Tsunami retain their energy, meaning they can travel across entire oceans with limited energy loss.

Yes. All tsunamis are potentially dangerous, even though they may not damage every coastline they strike. A tsunami can strike anywhere along most of the U.S. coastline. The most destructive tsunamis have occurred along the coasts of California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.
