 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about

FACTS ABOUT TSUNAMIS



  1. A tsunami is a series of ocean waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. More rarely, a tsunami can be generated by a giant meteor impact with the ocean. These waves can reach heights of over 100 ft.
  2. About 80% of tsunamis happen within the Pacific Ocean’s “Ring of Fire.”
  3. The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest, successive waves get bigger and stronger.
  4. Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as a jet plane.
  5. The states in the U.S. at greatest risk for tsunamis are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
