80% Informative

Unlike regular tsunamis caused by earthquakes, mega-tsunamis are often triggered by landslides or collapsing volcanoes.

Three regions in the US — Alaska , Hawaii , and the West Coast — face the threat due to their proximity to unstable volcanoes, landslide-prone areas, and earthquake zones.

These events are becoming increasingly likely as temperatures warm.

Hawaii 's Big Island's southeast side - home to 'younger' volcanoes like Kilauea and Mauna Loa - poses the greatest threat.

Penn State researchers warn that unstable slopes could collapse again, triggering massive waves.

On January 26, 1700 , a magnitude 9 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone unleashed a mega-tsunami that destroyed the village of Pachena Bay .
