No. Tsunamis are caused by a large movement of mass. In most cases it is related to an undersea earthquake that cause portions of the sea floor to move up or down. Some tsunamis are triggered by landslides.

Can avalanches cause tsunamis waves?
no
Tsunamis are what?
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
What are the main features of a tsunmi?
Tsunamis have large waves that come over land and cause flooding. Plate tectonics cause this.
What causes tsunamis floods?
No. Tsunamis are classified as huge tidal waves. Tsunamis cause floods when the waves hit the shore and the water rushes inland.
Why are they no longer called tidal waves?
Tsunamis are not called Tidal waves anymore, as tsunamis are not affected by the tides. Tides do not affect how strong or tall the tsunamis are and that is why tsunamis are not commonly called tidal waves anymore because the word 'tidal' is misleading.
What type of waves do earthquakes create?
Seismic waves Tidal waves or tsunamis. They would also create shock waves.
Can avalanches cause tsunamis waves?
no
Is a tsunami one large wave?
yes <><><><><> and no. Many tsunamis have multiple shock waves.
Do all tsunamis have huge waves that do a lot of damage?
No. Tsunamis and tidal waves are actually quite different. True tidal waves are just that - tidal waves. Tsunamis are usually triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanoes or nearby seismic activity.
Do tsunamis create hurricanes?
No, tsunamis are created by undersea earthquakes. Sometimes a hurricane may cause very rough seas and create large waves, but tsunamis are a different disaster.
The cause of normal waves but not tsunamis?
the normal waves are produced due to the attractional or gravitational force between the earth and the moon but the tsunamis are caused due to the movement of the tectonic plates undet the ocean.
What percent of volcanoes cause tidal waves?
no volcanoes cause tidal waves - the plates create land. earthquakes, however, do make tidal waves and tsunamis in the aftermath. look that up instead.
How do sunamis work?
its spelled tsunamis, and they are commonly caused by underwater earthquakes that cause massive waves.
What affects the speed of waves?
Surface winds and the sea bed movement of plates (these can cause tsunamis).
