What is the release of stored energy in earth's outer layer that causes movements called?
An earthquake.
Why does the water level rise after a tsunami?
Normally it doesn't. Any change in water level is secondary to the earthquake that causes (most) tsunamis and/or the rise or fall of the land that accompanies it.
Why does the water level rise after tsunami?
An under water earthquake precedes a tsunami. Earthquake causes seismic waves which set up the water in motion with a large force. This causes a tsunami.
What happens to the earth's surface after earthquake?

An earthquake.
Which conclusion is supported by studies of earthquake waves passing through Earth?
The outer core is a liquid.
What is directly above the earthquake epicenter?
Nothing (well the atmosphere and then outer space)! As the epicentre of an earthquake is the point on Earth's surface directly above the focus or hypocentre (which is the place in the Earth where the rupture / fault movement that causes the earthquake occurs).

Can you see an earthquake on land from the water?
It would have to be a very strong earthquake for you to see the land moving. If the earthquake is strong, building may fall down, dust may rise, lampposts will rock, rocks may tumble, so that is what you might see.
