  1. in the ocean


  2. Any answer will be a guess as there are too many variables; my guess is somewhere along the North American Pacific Coast since the Cascadia Subduction Zone (off the Oregon/Washington coast) is overdue for an 8 to 9 moment magnitude event.

    When it happens, it will be a bad one.

  3. Tsunamis, also known as seismic sea waves, are generated by undersea earthquakes.  Thus, since earthquakes can't be predicted, tsunamis (as a not-so constant by-product of undersea quakes) are even harder to predict.  A safe bet would be anywhere within the Ring of Fire (the borders of the Pacific plate) where most earthquakes (around 70%) occur.

  4. Japan.They are always good for one.
