No. A hurricane on water is simply a hurricane. Tsunami is a large wave triggered by an underwater disturbance such as an earthquake. A hurricane is a type of storm.

Is the tsunami wave stronger than the hurricane?

Yes, the tsunami wave is stronger than the hurricane. The tsunami wave is a huge pile of water that can travel on land like one of the tsunami wave hit the states of Hawaii on march 11, 2010 off the west coast of the United States after Japan earthquake. Hurricanes are strong enough to blow houses, vehicles and boats away but then have to go back to the water to get more strength but the tsunami wave just continue traveling without having to go back to the water. The tsunami wave is much stronger than the hurricane and it is big enough to crush the whole entire building.
