"Scientists think they now know why the tsunami that devastated Japan following a major earthquake in 2011 was so much bigger than scientists would have predicted.

 

Three studies that explain the disaster were published online in the journal Science on Thursday by an international team of scientists. The findings also suggest that a large area of the North Pacific may be more prone to giant tsunamis than previously thought."

The story goes on to say the ocean floor rose 10 metres during the earthquake.  Yikes!!
