An earthquake occurs when the edges of two tectonic plates get stuck on each other. Stress builds, like the stress you get when you hold onto a friends hand and pul away without letting go. When the stress is released the two tectonic plates do one of two things. Either they will push up against each other (known as a thrust fault), pull away from each other (known as a normal fault) or more commonly slide along each other (known as a slip or slide fault). The stress takes the form of seismic waves and they both contribute to thee shaking of the ground.
There are plates under the Earth, even under the ocean. When the plates collide they create shaking which creates an earthquake. Also, when underwater volcanoes erupt the can cause shaking of the ocean floor.
There are 23 Nuclear Warheads at the bottom of the Bermuda. They could erupt any time causing Tsunamis and Earthquakes.

It can cause a tidal wave or tsunami.

The 1906 San Francisco earthquake occurred at a transform plate boundary, where two plates slide past one another.
It is movement of land beneath the sea, often it is a land slide that displaces water and produces the wave.
A strong incoming tide at the mouth of some rivers produces a bore (a wave) that moves up the river against the current.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
no the earthquake produces the tsunami

the relationship between earthquakes magnitude is the size or amount of energy an earthquake produces and has no connection to hour often earthquakes occur.
It should be a seismic wave.

It is movement of land beneath the sea, often it is a land slide that displaces water and produces the wave.
a magnitude 7.2 earthquake produces 10 times more ground motion than a magnitude 6.2 earthquake, but it releases about 32 times more energy. The energy release best indicates the destructive power of an earthquake.
It suddenly slips when the stress across it becomes too high, which produces a sudden series of shockwaves that radiate in all directions from the fault through the surrounding rock. The earthquake you feel happens when these shockwaves reach the surface.
A strong incoming tide at the mouth of some rivers produces a bore (a wave) that moves up the river against the current.
The focus is a feature of an earthquake; it is the point underground where the earthquake originates, directly beneath the epicenter. A hot spot is an area away from a plate boundary that produces volcanic activity, most likely due to a rising plume of extra hot material in the mantle.
An earthquake's Focus is located directly under the Epicenter of an earthquake. The Epicenterof an earthquake is located on the surface of the earthquake.
