Geological due to the fact that these killer sea waves are generated by undersea earthquakes. Shifts in the earth's crustal plates along faults, deep sea trenches, and ridges release energy which in turn causes a sudden displacement of oceanic waters in the immediate area. The devastation of the growing tsunami occurs when this energy in the form of water ripples (like when a pebble is dropped into a pond) reach the shore line and grow vertically to 100's of feet tall. Nothing meteorological (weather related) about tsunamis at all.

Which type of natural hazard cause maximum damage to lives and property?
Hydro-meteorological
Are bushfires geological?
I would say that they are more geographical than geological The geology might affect the rock and therefore water retainment/porosity which could lead to the drying out of plants and trees. It is the geography like terrain, wind and weather that would determine its spreading and cause Following your question update I would say it is mainly meteorological basically weather than geological. Merci
