If the landslide enters the ocean or occurs underwater, yes. While tsunamis are most often caused by earthquakes, landslides are the second leading cause. In fact, landslides can sometimes trigger much larger tsunamis than those associated with earthquakes.
Tsunami's can be formed by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and rarely, a landslide or meteorite. When earthquakes start, most of the time, large areas on the ocean floor is suddenly elevated or subsided. All of the energy released from that pushes the water up and as more energy is released, more water comes up. And thus, it creates a tsunami. Volcanic eruptions can also cause earthquakes. Landslides are very rare. But when landslides do create a tsunami, it is referred to as a mega tsunami. And is a LOT more dangerous than a regular tsunami (not sure how much stronger). For a landslide to create a tsunami, you would need at least around 90 million tons of rock hitting the water simultaneously.
Tsunamis can be formed after certain underwater events take place. A tsunami can form after an underwater landslide, earthquake or volcanic eruption.
There is no such thing as a "shelf cloud tsunami." Shelf clouds and tsunamis are two different and completely unrelated phenomena. A tsunami is a type of ocean wave or series of waves that is usually triggered by an earthquake or landslide. A shelf cloud is a type of cloud that develops at the leading edge of some thunderstorms. Shelf clouds form when rain-cooled air forces warm, moist air ahead of a storm upwards.
Tsunami is a series of water waves that occur when there is disturbance on the ocean floor either by volcanic activities, earthquakes,or underwater explosions.
A tsunami is formed when there is an earthquake, volcanic eruption or, more rarely, a landslide underwater. Typically, neither the earthquake, eruption or landslide are felt because they are so deep under water. However, the actions that have taken place are the first steps that lead to a massive tsunami that can cause tremendous damage to coastal regions.
Without an earthquake tsunamis can still form. They can come from an underwater landslide a submarine volcanic eruption, or a meteor strike in the ocean.
Wind can't form a tsunami. A tsunami is only caused by a large displacement of water. This is done only by an earthquake, a volcano eruption, a landslide, or a meteorite impact.

it is possible if the plates move and one of them slips under the other your tsunami will form.

An earthquake caused an undersea landslide. it also can form by an under water earthquake

it should form a underwater earthquake and causes a Tsunami
None.The Earth moves or a meteorite, earthquake, or other underwater occurrence can make a Tsunami form. But,Oil drilling in the ocean Could cause a small earthquake, but not enough to trigger a tsunami.
