Tsunami Central?
The Japanese island of Hokkaido, pictured here, bears sediments that store a record of at least nine tsunamis that raged over 33-foot cliffs over the course of the last 3,000 years. Based on that history, scientists believe the region could be in store for mega-tsunamis in future years. | Video: Discovery Earth
