CORRECTED: Hurricanes are storms that happen in the Atlantic (East Coast). Typhoons are storms (hurricanes) that happen in the Pacific (West Coast). Why they are called something different I do not know. Yet, both storms are created in the same manner as all storms, only being over water, they become more tumultuous.
Tsunamis are waves, and are not associated with storms, but earthquakes. When there is a shift in the ocean floor, of course it causes waves. The severity of the shift is a direct affect on the severity of the wave.
Poseidon makes them.
