yesNo, the Tsunami's were caused by the earthquake in Japan.

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. A tsunami is a giant ocean wave. A tsunami can be caused by an earthquake, but they are completely different things.
An earthquake happened, which triggered the tsunami.
