tsunamis are generally an effect caused by earthquaques, which release energy when a fault can no longer keep the frictional energy produced by tectonic movements.
They are both waves, the earthquake are acoustic waves that propagate in the earth, while tsunamis are material waves, in that the energy propagates through water.
What else can I help you with?
How are earthquakes and tsunamis alike?
There are similar in the following ways:Both are a kind of natural calamity.Both cause loss of lives and property.Both can't be predicted till now.
Are earthquakes related to tsunamis?

Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the 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.
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.
What may be triggered by submarine slides tsunamis liquefaction earthquakes?
tsunamis
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.
Can tornado winds form tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are not caused by wind. They are generally caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. Tornadoes have caused water levels to fluctuate while crossing small lakes, but this phenomenon is more similar to seiches than to tsunamis.
Why do you got tsunamis?
earthquakes at sea
Why does a tsunami follow a earthquakes?
earthquakes normally cause tsunamis to occur
