The most likely source for an East Coast tsunami would be an underwater avalanche along the continental slope, according to research presented by ten Brink and others earlier this month at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Charlotte, N.C.
Generally the danger of a tsunami occurring exists where earth-and lake-quakes are possible, in areas where tectonic plates collide with each other, drift past each other or collide, as well as in other areas with geological faults. Mostly beaches and coastlines are affected by tsunamis.sunamis arise from the sudden displacement of gigantic water masses due to earthquakes on the seabed, volcanic eruptions above and under water, landslides or meteorite impacts. About 86 % of all Tsunamis result from so-called seaquakes.
