And inland earthquake does not produce the same tsunami as an underwater earthquake. That said, 8.3 is an extremely powerful earthquake which could produce a tsunami that would travel for thousands of miles and cause immense dammage over a very wide area.

Why might the triangulation method not always produce an exact point for an epicenter?

The triangulation method may not always produce an exact point for an epicenter because it relies on accurate and precise timing of seismic wave arrivals at different stations. Errors in measuring arrival times, variations in seismic wave velocity, and limited number of monitoring stations can result in uncertainties that affect the accuracy of the calculated epicenter point.
