A big quake on the ricter scale should be more than 8.2 to trigger a tsunami.
The tsunami and quake in japan
The 2011 Japan tsunami was caused by a powerful undersea earthquake off the coast of Japan. The earthquake triggered a massive displacement of water, leading to the tsunami that devastated coastal areas of Japan.
A tsunami or a tidal wave.
Even though the earth quake was thousands of miles away the quake was a very powerful one. It magnitude was measured to be 8.6 on the ritcher scale. An earth quake with such a high magnitude may cause powerful seismic waves due to which the tsunami was able to cover such a large distance. And also as the moon's going to come the nearest to the earth on 19th of this month due to which there may be high tidal waves caused in the seas. Chances for other destructive tsunamis also!!
um im NT quite sure bt so sad so sad :(

an earth quake. an earth quake measuring 9.3 on the rectar scale
No, a tsunami MAY occur after an earthquake, if the epicenter of the quake was underwater. Tsunamis do not always follow an underwater earthquake, though. That adds to people's uncertainty after a quake, especially about whether they should flee to higher ground after a quake.
Earth Quake and Tsunami attack.
a big earth quake
Why are you thinking of the worst to happen. More than 1Lac people are dead from this devastating earthquake. Please help whatever you can and pray for them.
There is no exact speed, it depends on the size of the quake that causes the tsunami.
