We now know that great earthquakes can occur in the Pacific Northwest, similar to those that have happened in Chile (1960), Alaska (1964), Indonesia (2004) and Japan (2011). In plate tectonic terms, such earthquakes are associated with: divergent boundaries (rift zones) within continents O mantle hot spots transform boundaries such as the San Andreas O convergent boundaries O divergent boundaries at mid-ocean ridges

Most major oceanic tsunamis are caused by: displacement of water by uplift or subsidence of the ocean floor during faulting O huge submarine volcanic eruptions O sudden strike-slip movement of the seafloor or continental shelf O earthquake-induced shaking of soft sediments O earthquake (seismic) waves shaking the water near the epicenter
