When two plates slide past each other, this is called a transform fault. Earthquakes can occur when the plates scrape by. If the earthquake happens underwater, a tsunami may occur. (Like in Japan)
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
Yes, there is a relationship between plate movements and tsunamis. Tsunamis are often triggered by underwater earthquakes, which occur along tectonic plate boundaries where plates can collide, pull apart, or slide past each other. The sudden release of energy during these seismic events displaces large volumes of water, generating tsunami waves. Additionally, volcanic activity associated with plate movements can also contribute to tsunami formation.

Tsunamis can occur at any time due to underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Notable historical tsunamis include the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which struck on December 26, and the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami in Japan, which occurred on March 11. Each tsunami has its own specific timing and causes, so context is essential to pinpoint when a particular tsunami occurred.

It isn't low tide, but part of the wave. Each wave in a tsunami has two parts: a crest of high water and a trough of low water. In many cases the trough comes first, resulting in the water receding.

No. Earthquakes happen when two plates pull apart.
