There are a lot of strong tsunamis because of the size of the ocean and large earthquakes there.In open seas tsunamis are only one or two metres high.But when they are near the land，they can be as high as six or seven metres.
Houses and cars near the sea can be swept away by these big waves.Because tsunamis move fast and can travel to the other side of the sea within one day，they may affect a lot of places.
Do you know the worst tsunamis in history in the world？Look through the following list.
Worst tsunamis
| Location | Year | Deaths |
