Tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia often. But, tsunamis also occur in the Mediterranean Sea area and happen in the Caribbean Sea too. Tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean and Indonesia more often because there are a lot of earthquakes in that zone.

Here is a Tsunami protection wall. In conclusion, Lindsey has an important job, she warns people of incoming tsunamis. I want to thank her for being my mentor and teaching me about her profession. The jobs in this field are important. This would be a great career to go into if your interested in tsunamis!
