How does an ocean earthquake work?
An oceanic earthquake works almost similar to any earthquake on land. In an underwater earthquake, the seafloor moves, causing vibrations in the ground and shockwaves. When near land, these tremors can be felt. Depending on the magnitude and the type of plate boundary (convergent, transform or divergent), it can cause tsunamis.
Earthquakes are frequent in California US so is California prepared on their beaches for Tsunamis?
There is a system of tidal buoys that are designed to detect tsunamis before they hit the shore, but a tsunami caused by an earthquake along the coast would hit the beach before any alarm could be given.
Why did so many people die in the Haiti earthquake?

Why weren't there any tsunamis in the Christchurch earthquakes?
The Christchurch earthquakes in 2010 and 2011 did not generate tsunamis because they were caused by strike-slip faults, which do not displace water vertically to create a tsunami. Tsunamis are typically generated by earthquakes associated with subduction zones or vertical displacements of the seafloor.

Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
Has an earthquake ever caused a tsunami?
Earthquakes can cause tsunamis, along with landslides and volcanic activity in the sea. Practically any disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami, and most major tsunamis are caused by earthquakes.
