The 2004 tsunami after the 9.2 earthquake in Sumatra killed an estimated 240,000.
The Japan tsunami, 9.0, in 2011, killed an estimated 16,000.
Some tsunamis can be generated by landslides, as an extremely huge piece of ice fell off a glacier in Alaska one (not in the 1964 earthquake), and caused a huge tidal wave over 100 feet high. Though most large tsunamis are generated by earthquakes on the seafloor, especially on the Ring of Fire.
The Indian ocean tsunami of 2004, also known as the Boxing Day tsunami, was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history. Triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, it resulted in more than 230,000 deaths across 14 countries.
