Seismologist Lucy Jones says that a large tsunami is 50 feet high. Is the size of the giant tsunami we see in the movie plausible? Also, the San Andreas Fault is vertical, so even if it did go underwater someday, it wouldn't cause the ocean floor to move up or down that much, which is necessary for a large tsunami. There hasn't been an active subduction zone under San Francisco or Los Angeles for millions of years. As a result, the sea floor is deformed and a tsunami is created. Also, tsunamis caused by earthquakes are created at subduction zones, places where tectonic plates collide and one plate is pushed under another. Lucy Jones, due to the fact that the San Andreas Fault is mostly on land, it will never create a large tsunami.
