The energy from the plate movement travels through the water. The tsunami is just the resulting wave.

Why don't transform plate movements cause a tsunami?
Tsunamis are typically triggered by vertical movement of the seafloor at a convergent plate boundary. Transform boundaries do not produce such vertical movement.
What is the effect when there is folding bending and cracking of crust due to plate movement?
It is your girlfriend.
What natural disasters are cause by plate techtonics?
hurricanes is not what occurs it is earthquakes volcanos tsunamis and mountains
What is the effect of plate movement at a divergent boundary?
The effect of subduction at the boundary of two plates is the movement of one tectonic plate under another tectonic plate. This creates a subduction zone, which often occurs in convergent boundaries.
Is a Tsunami a constructive or a destructive?
A tsunami usually occurs on a destructive plate boundary.
How does the upward movement of one plate lead to a tsunami?

What caused the 2004 indoneisan tsunami - a divergent convergent or transform plate movement?
It was a thrust fault, a covergent plate movement.
What are the causes of tsunami which was hit by japan?
The sudden movement of the Pacific tectonic plate under the North American plate caused a massive earthquake and a tsunami.
Why don't transform plate movements cause a tsunami?
Tsunamis are typically triggered by vertical movement of the seafloor at a convergent plate boundary. Transform boundaries do not produce such vertical movement.
What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
How does movement in tectonic plates cause deformation in rocks?
the plate tectonics can have contact with one another and cause earthquakes, and tsunami's

What is the four factors that effect plate movement?
The four factors that effect plate movement are when new crust is created, crust being destroyed, the crust sliding horizontally or when plates merge together.
How does tsunami affect the atmosphere?
A tsunami has little effect on the atmosphere. A tsunami is a natural disaster that can not be prevented. It is a underwater earthquake that happens when plates collide. The theory of plate tectonics explains earthquakes and other geological occurrences.
