Magnitude 9.0 earthquake generated a major tsunami that struck the Severo-Kurilsk region. -
a magnitude 7.8 earthquake caused a rockslide that fell into Lituya Bay, creating a megatsunami with a record run-up height of 1,720 feet. Was in a remote location, so there were few (two) fatalities. Also the first tsunami that ever caught my interest -
The largest earthquake ever recorded, a magnitude 9.5. The tsunami traveled across the Pacific, causing additional deaths and destruction in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines. -
magnitude 9.2 earthquake triggered tsunamis in Alaska, which were more destructive and caused more casualties than the initial shaking. -
8.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Moro Gulf. -
An undersea earthquake triggered a large, localized tsunami. -
A massive undersea megathrust earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 (now believed to be 9.2-9.3.) This was the deadliest tsunami in modern history, killing approximately 227,000 to 230,000 people across 13 countries, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Also one that everybody is familiar with (including myself.) -
A magnitude 8.1 earthquake generated a regional tsunami. -
An 8.1 magnitude earthquake generated tsunami waves up to 22 meters (72 feet 2.142 inches) high. -
A magnitude 9.1 earthquake, the most powerful ever recorded in Japan. The resulting tsunami overtopped sea walls, destroyed coastal towns, and led to the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
