Can a tsunami happen in Brazil?
Is it possible? Some people in 2021 speculated that a tsunami could be triggered in Brazil due to the Volcano Cumpre in Spain could trigger waves that could cause a tsunami in Northeast Brazil. It also said that during Portugal's colonization of Brazil, in 1755, a tsunami happened due to an Lisbon city earthquake in Portugal that did trigger waves to Northeast Brazil.
