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.
Where do tsunamis mostly occur in the world?
Tsunamis mostly occur in the Pacific Ocean's "Ring of Fire," where tectonic plate movements are frequent. Countries such as Japan, Indonesia, and Chile are particularly prone to tsunamis due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries and underwater earthquakes.
