It is possible if some large meteor or comet struck the earth, it is not likely at all with purely terrestrial phenomena. 2nd Answer: Tsunamis are powerful ocean waves - they are not breakers, like you might surf on. In fact, at sea, tsunamis are about 1 to 2 feet high. The great damage and loss of life occurs when the surge of ocean water floods the adjacent land. More damage occurs when all that water drains back off the land into the sea.

A tsunami can reach heights of over 100 feet when it makes landfall, depending on factors such as the size and strength of the tsunami and the shape of the coastline.
How high can tsunami waves reach and what factors contribute to their maximum height?
Tsunami waves can reach heights of over 100 feet. The maximum height of a tsunami is influenced by factors such as the magnitude of the earthquake or underwater volcanic eruption that triggers it, the shape of the seafloor, and the distance the wave travels before reaching land.
Is a basement a safe place during a tsunami?
No. A basement is the last place you want to be during a tsunami. A tsunami is a massive surge of water. In a basement you are likely to drown. If a tsunami is coming you want to get as high up as possible. The best option, if you are in the danger zone, is to evacuate to higher ground inland. If you cannot then get to the top floor of you building or a nearby building, even on the roof if possible.

A tsunamis has a much longer wavelength compared to a normal wave. A tsunami few dozen feet high can easily be several miles long.
How high can a tsunami grow to?
A tsunami can grow to different heights depending on various factors such as the size of the earthquake or underwater landslide that generated it, the depth of the water, and the shape of the coastline. Tsunamis can reach heights of over 100 feet in extreme cases.
Will the tsunami from the earthquake in Chile really hit new Zealand?
Yes it is highly likely. Tsunamis can reach 50 feet high and travel at a phenomenal 8,445 miles at 450 miles per hour. Given New Zealand's location it's strength would be somewhat subdued by the time it reached our shores.
How many miles will a 3db antenna reach a signal?
depend on how high your antenna
Why wouldn't it be easy to see a tsunami in the middle of the ocean?
In the middle of the ocean a tsunami is a few inches to a few feet high and many miles long and takes minutes to pass. Such a gradual change would not be noticeable.
What prove is there that a cruise ship can survive a tsunami?
When getting word of a tsunami, a cruise ship will head out to the deepest part of the ocean she can reach. In deep water, a tsunami may only be a couple of feet or even inches high. It is not until the tsunami reaches shallow water that the wave reaches any appreciable height. In fact, a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean may be the safest place to be during a tsunami.
