Why are tsunamis so dangerous? That's one of the questions answered by The Center for Tsunami Research at the National Weather Service.

Tsunamis occur most often in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia, because of the active Pacific Rim earthquake zone.

Tsunamis cause the water level and currents to rise rapidly, and dangerous waves often follow the first tsunami wave, trapping people who return, thinking the tsunami is over.
