What are tsunamis? How and where are they generated? How fast do they travel? What are the odds of a tsunami striking British Columbia and if one does, what should we do? This segment of the Ocean Alive show describes how tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes and underwater landslides. It also shows where most tsunamis are generated, along the ring of fire, how they propagate across the ocean, how we are able to detect them and what we can do to prepare for possible future tsunamis.
