Well, an earthquake in a place can cause a Tsunami in a in a country located in another continent because of the waves caused by the earthquake. When the earthquake makes the ground shake the water surrounding it will form big waves. These waves will go through the ocean and probably go over Another Country causing the water to get into the coast (causing a tsunami).
