The creation of a tsunami depends on several factors:
- magnitude - generally needs to be 7 or higher
- earthquake must be located under the ocean so that water is moved
- type of fault movement. When plates move up or down, this tends to move the most water, and is most likely to produce a tsunami

Can you feel and earthquake while boating?
yes, even on a lake there may be a tsunami wave
What meterial holds up in an10.5 earthquake?
We don't know what material holds up in an 10.5 earthquake. It's not has been tested yet. But it maybe possible that the building structures survived a 8.0 earthquake could work in the 10.5 earthquake. But it looks impossible because a 10.5 earthquake is a super strong quake and if it last more then 5 min, bulidings would collpase. If it were to occur in the ocean. It will generate a destructive tsunami. The tsunami can grow even bigger if the earthquake were to cause a massive landslide.
Should you expect earthquakes and tsunami?
Earthquakes are pretty common; there are dozens of small to medium quakes every day, and a fairly large one every month or so. If an earthquake happens at sea, along a coastline, it's possible that the earthquake will cause an underwater avalanche, and if there is, the falling rock and mud will displace a lot of water - and cause a tsunami. You won't always have a tsunami, even with fairly big quakes, but it's always something to be aware of.
Is nz 2010 earthquake finished?
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
How many minutes after the earthquake in Japan did the tsunami hit?
A tsunami cannot be precisely predicted even if the right magnitude of an earthquake occurs in the right location. Systems that uses bottom pressure sensors attached to buoys can successfully predict a tsunami. No one yet knows why a tsunami may or may not occur after an earthquake. It is not necessary that a Tsunami follows an earthquake. It only happens when focus of earthquake is in the sea bed. Since earthquakes are caused by seismic waves produced due to collisions of the tectonic plates, these waves high disturbance in the sea water and hence the water takes the form of Tsunamis.

Who can be affected by an earthquake?
Anyone can; even people continents away can be affected by really strong earthquakes. Japan had an earthquake and a tsunami that caused a tsunami in Hawaii.
Does this make sense The Tsunami was even worse than the earthquake?
yes, but tsunami isn't a pronoun, so lowercase it.
Can you feel and earthquake while boating?
yes, even on a lake there may be a tsunami wave

How long before an earthquake do foreshocks occur?
Foreshocks can occur hours, days, or even weeks before a larger earthquake, but there is no definitive timeline. Foreshocks are smaller earthquakes that precede a larger mainshock, and their occurrence can vary depending on the specific earthquake event.
Is nz 2010 earthquake finished?
No not quite aftershocks can even occur for a couple of days after the main earthquake.
What was the earthquake and tsunami rated in japan 2011?
The earthquake in Japan was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. (After the quake hit, seismologists ranked it from an 8.9 to a 9.0.) The tsunami's height was recorded to be about 33 feet. Many counts say that the number is much higher, even as high as a 3-4 story building.
Are earthquakes environmental issues?
No, they occur naturally. They are considered natural disasters. They can cause an issue when they occur however, and even cause a tsunami.
