How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?

What cause earthquakes tsunamis and landslides?
Shifting of Tectonic Plates.
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?

Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
