How an earthquake can cause a tsunami?
tsunamis are caused when earthquakes cause the sea floor to rise or fall and or when convergent plate boundary takes place.:)
Is a Tsunami a constructive or a destructive?
A tsunami usually occurs on a destructive plate boundary.
Does subduction cause earthquakes?
Yes. It is also the type most likely to cause a tsunami.
Can a tsunami happen from a transform boundary?
yes
Is Washington going to have a big tsunami?
It will probably happen eventually. This is a plate boundary just of the cause that could trigger an earthquake and tsunami, but there's no telling when it will happen. Other areas along the Pacific could produce a tsunami that would reach Washington

Why don't transform plate movements cause a tsunami?
Tsunamis are typically triggered by vertical movement of the seafloor at a convergent plate boundary. Transform boundaries do not produce such vertical movement.
What type of boundary causes faulting?
Transform boundaries cause fault lines or faults.
Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Did the 1906 earthquake cause a tsunami if yes where?
No, the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 did not cause a tsunami.
What was the cause of the Japanese tsunami in 2011?
An earthquake caused the tsunami!
Which type of plate boundary is responsible for the most powerful earthquakes?
Transform Boundaries are the cause of earthquakes.
