Tsunami
Tsunami waves can be caused by a major earthquake or landslide on the sea flow. Another cause is from the land slumping into the ocean or a large volcanic eruption.
A Tsunami is similar to a tidal wave but generally bigger and caused by earthquakes that happen on the sea bed
No. The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake - the point underground where it occurred. A Tsunami is an ocean wave generally caused by a submarine landslide or earthquake. The landslide or earthquake may have a Richter number associated with it, but the landslide itself need not have been caused by an earthquake. For example a slumping at the terminus of an undersea sediment delta. The Tsunami is the movement of the water caused by the volume of the submarine slump. Hence the common observation of the sea level going down, followed some time later by the sea in-rushing again.
No, Tsunamis are not weather-related. They are typically caused by a disturbance of the seabed such as an underwater earthquake or landslide.
No, meteorology is a study of the mechanics of the atmosphere while a tsunamis is a oceanic event usually caused by an earthquake or landslide.
a tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake,explosion,landslide,or a volcanic eruption.
Tsunami
A tsunami is actually a series of waves caused by either an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact.

A landslide is mainly caused
Tsunami waves can be caused by a major earthquake or landslide on the sea flow. Another cause is from the land slumping into the ocean or a large volcanic eruption.
A tsunami can happen when there is a sudden movement in the ocean thatâ??s caused by a landslide or earthquake. The other cause of tsunami is volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact.

An earthquake caused an undersea landslide. it also can form by an under water earthquake
the earthquake caused a volcanic eruption
the Kobe earthquake wasn't caused by a volcanic explsion, yes it occured at a destructive plate margine where the phillipine plate subducted under the eurasian plate but no vulcanism occured, the friction caused by the subduction caused the earthquake which has been identified to have a strike slip mechanism
