What is the name given to a seismic sea wave?
The term "seismic sea wave" has been found in geological and oceanographic texts, and typically is another term for a tsunami. Earthquakes at underwater subduction zones (where one tectonic plate moves beneath another) are the leading cause of tsunamis. Not all tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, however; other causes may include underwater volcanos, landslides, and underwater explosions (such as nuclear devices).

The earthquake caused the tsunami in Japan. And plate tectonics - which have been going on under the earths surface since the earth formed - caused the earthquake.
Has Michigan ever been hit by a Tsunami?
No. Most tsunamis occur as a result of undersea earthquakes and there are no earthquake zones in any of the Great Lakes that can cause a tsunami. The only thing that could cause a tsunami on the Great Lakes is a large meteor impact, but no such impact has occurred since before the lakes existed.
What conditions need to be present for a tsunami to occur?
The major ones result from sub-sea earthquakes in subduction zones. Others can be triggered by major undersea mud-slides or volcanic eruptions. The 19C eruption of Krakatoa (or Krakatau) raised a gigantic wave that raced right round the world, obviously diminishing rapidly with distance but creating terrible havoc in the region. The cause was a gigantic final blast that may have been from the magma chamber collapsing and sea-water suddenly quenching a huge volume of very hot rock and lava. However, I'm not sure if this can be called a tsunami.
Where is the first place tsunami happened?
The effect we now call tsunami has been happening since there have been oceans on the planet Earth (billions of years). There was no "First Tsunami"; the Japanese have been calling the effect 'tsunami' for many centuries.
