Is it true that the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake triggered a tsunami over 10 meters high?
Yes. Official and reference sources state the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake generated a tsunami whose maximum wave height reached roughly 39–40 meters, far exceeding 10 meters. Other items confirm a tsunami was triggered but give no height.
