The U.S could have a construction of vertical evacuation structures within an inundation zone. This could help save many lives by moving the people above and higher, to stay safe from the tsunamis.

The best option for you to do during a Tsunami is to drop, cover, and hold on. Basically what that means is that you have to drop down to your hands and knees, try to cover your head and neck. While holding on to something sturdy till the shaking from the Tsunami stops.

These are just some of the recent examples of tsunamis, with the Chile tsunami killing 7 people.

The tsunami in Alaska that occurred on July 9th, 1958. The wave was over 1,700 feet. Although this is the largest, it is not the deadliest, there had only taken 5 lives.

There is actually geological evidence of tsunamis occurring way back in 1628 BC and 1410 BC. It was a volcano that erupted on Greece and created a large tsunami.

Local Tsunamis: these are the waves that mainly affect the coastlines. These waves are quite extreme but they only affect a limited area.

Teletsunamis: waves that are generated at least 1000 kilometers away from shore, usually produced by major earthquakes they affect entire ocean basins. As it approaches land it is usually slowed down as the wave builds before breaking and flooding the land.

The amplitude of a wave is maximum distance or displacement moved by a point on a wave which is measured by it's equilibrium position.

A tsunami is classified as a transverse wave.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a series of large waves, caused by a displacement of the ocean; which usually occurs due to an earthquake.

A tsunami is usually traveling at at least 500mph or it could even travel faster. It does tend to slow down when its at shore to around 30mph, that is due to the fact that wavelengths decrease and the waves rise in height.

# data[].attributes.body
Tsunamis usually reach a max-level height at the shore of around 100 feet above sea level, the highest wave ever recorded was at 1,700 feet tall; that had happened on Alaska's coast in 1958.

How come an earthquake can cause a tsunami, yet an earthquake the same size wouldn't cause a tsunami?

That is because earthquakes that move in the in the horizontal direction are less likely to cause one. When energy pushes the plates to move horizontally, it does not raise or lower the water enough to cause a tsunami.
