Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Can earthquakes happen underwater?
Of course! In fact, underwater earthquakes are a major cause of tsunamis.
Why does a tsunami follow a earthquakes?
earthquakes normally cause tsunamis to occur
How do tsunamis and earthquakes happen?
God is mad
Why do tsunami's hit Japan?
This is because earthquakes and tremors are common in Japan. That triggers tsunamis to occur
What happens when earthquakes generate tsunamis?
Japan
Are earthquakes related to tsunamis?
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
How earthquakes generate tsunamis?
The earthquakes that generate tsunamis usually occur at locations known as subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides under another. The plates will generally snag as they move and build up stress, which is periodically released in the form of earthquakes. Large subduction zone earthquakes cause sections of the sea floor to move up or down, which displaces the water above, triggering tsunamis. Earthquakes can also cause tsunamis indirectly by causing underwater landslides or landslide into water.
Can tsunamis be refered to as seismic waves?
No. Seismic waves are the actual vibrations in the ground generate by an earthquake. Tsunamis are a different matter, nor are all tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
Do hurricanes make tsunamis?
No, generally only earthquakes can generate tsunamis. Hurricanes only have the ability to churn up the very top layer of the ocean.
What causes most tsunamis earthquakes a full moon a hurricane or a flood?
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
What is the relationship between tsunami and earthquakes?
Earthquakes often generate tsunamis. See the related link below:
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?

Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
What causes tsnamis?
earthquakes are the most things that cause a tsunamis
Are earthquakes related to landslides or tsunamis?
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
