The following tsunamis



As a result of the earthquake, tsunamis occurred and affected southern Chile, Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, eastern New Zealand, southeast Australia and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. (All those places were greatly affected from just one earthquake).They severely battered the coast of Chile, with waves up to 25 metres high (That's a wave which is as high as a swimming pool turned on its side!) .The main tsunami raced across the pacific ocean and devastated Hilo in Hawaii.
