Brief Explanations
  • For Question 11: The 1958 Lituya Bay, Alaska event was a combination of an earthquake - triggered landslide that generated a tsunami wave with a height of about 524 meters (1,720 feet), which is the highest - recorded tsunami wave. The 1755 Lisbon tsunami was destructive but not the highest - wave one. The 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami was very deadly but not the highest - wave event. The 2010 Tohuko earthquake - related tsunami also had large waves but not as high as the 1958 Lituya Bay event.
  • For Question 12: The 2011 Tohuko Earthquake and Tsunami caused a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The 1985 Three Mile Island incident was a nuclear accident but not related to a tsunami. The 1964 Alaskan Good Friday Earthquake and Tsunami did not involve a nuclear plant in the way the 2011 event did. The 1960 Hilo, Hi Tsunami also did not have nuclear - plant consequences.
