DevinTsunamis are most dangerous near Coastlines, particularly in areas with a shallow continental shelf and low-lying coastal regions. Regions along the Pacific Ring of Fire, such as Japan, Indonesia, and the west coast of the Americas, are especially prone to devastating tsunamis due to the presence of active tectonic plate boundaries.

Are tsunamis dangerous in open sea?
It really depends. And it is based on someones opinion. If its a really tiny tsunami some people may not think so. But a tsunamis caused by a landslide (which can be 1000ft tall) would be very dangerous to almost everyone.
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
What three countries are tsunamis most common?
Tsunamis are most common in countries located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, such as Japan, Indonesia, and Chile. These countries experience frequent seismic activity that can trigger tsunamis.

Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
