Question

Why are tsunamis rare in the indian ocean as compared to the pasific ocean?

Answer 1

Person also said that because large tsunamis, or seismic sea waves, are extremely rare in the Indian Ocean, people were never taught to flee inland after they felt the tremors of an earthquake. Tsunami warning systems and tide gauges exist around the Pacific Ocean, for the Pacific Rim as well as South America.

Answer 2

Tsunamis generally occured due to big earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides falling into the oceans, movement of tectonic plates under ocean or more specifically earthquake under water.

Under the Pacific ocean, there is a continuous movement of tectonic plates, while the Indian ocean is not so much disturbing.
