80% of tsunamis happen in the "Ring of Fire"
The first wave of a tsunami is usually not the strongest then the waves get bigger and stronger.
Tsunamis can travel at speeds of about 500 miles or 805 kilometers an hour.
Tsunamis retain their energy, meaning they can travel across entire oceans with limited energy loss.
The states in the U.S. at greatest risk for a tsunamis to hit them are Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and California.
