How was the earthquake followed by the tsunami in Japan?
Tsunamis always begin with an earthquake. Sometimes the earthquake is far away from land, and the earthquake itself might not cause catastrophic damage. But the quake happens at sea, and it causes a massive shift in the sea floor. This gets the tsunami going. Tsunamis contain massive amounts of energy and move very rapidly. The recent Japanese quake was close enough to land to cause massive damage, and then the tsunami followed and caused massive damage on its own.
