The largest tsunami wave that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, reached a height of around 40 meters (131 feet). It was generated by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Tohoku.
The largest tsunami ever recorded occurred on July 9, 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska. The tsunami was triggered by a landslide that fell into the bay, generating a wave that reached a height of approximately 1,720 feet (524 meters).
1720 ftTsunamis are known to have reached heights of 30 meters (100 feet) or more.
The two most famous (current) tsunamis are the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan and the 2004 Boxing Day (Sumatra) tsunami. The greatest historical tsunami (a series of them) accompanied the explosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883.
no it is not the largest.
The largest wave ever recorded was a 1,720 feet (524 meters) high tsunami that struck Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958. This wave was caused by a landslide into the bay and is considered the tallest tsunami in recorded history.
A tsunami wave can reach heights of over 100 feet (30 meters) when it hits land.
