because the definitiong of weather is activity in our atmosphere. Tsunamis and earthquakes are caused by earths tectonic plates shifting and moving not atmospheric activity.
How is weather change responsible for natural disasters?
Droughts and floods are typically caused by changes in precipitation. Tornadoes are caused by colliding pressure systems (more complicated than that). Hail is caused by updrafts. Not all natural disasters are caused by weather (ex. volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis are caused by tectonics). Global weather change (climate change) shifts weather patterns from their 'normal' positions meaning that many biomes are significantly altered.

No weather in particular. Tsunamis are completely unrelated to the weather. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes, which are not weather, but the triggering earthquake may be too far away to be felt.
