There are Magnitude scales for Tsunamis, but you have to be a maths wizz to work them out, using the formula Mt = a log h + b log R = D.
The Tsunami in Japan in 2011 was caused by an earthquake gesitering a magnitude 9.0.
The magnitude of the earthquake that triggered the tsunami in Japan in 2011 was 9.0. The tsunami waves that followed reached heights of up to 40 meters in some areas along the coast of Japan.
The 2004 tsunami was not measured on the Richter scale because tsunamis are caused by underwater disturbances, usually earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. The earthquake that triggered the 2004 tsunami had a magnitude of 9.1-9.3 on the moment magnitude scale, not the Richter scale.
The 2004 Bali tsunami was larger in scale, with a magnitude of 9.1-9.3, triggered by an undersea earthquake off the coast of Sumatra. The 2009 Samoan tsunami was caused by an earthquake off the coast of Samoa and American Samoa with a magnitude of 8.1, resulting in significant damage and loss of life but was not as widespread as the 2004 tsunami.
Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides underwater. The magnitude of the earthquake or the volume of material displaced by a volcanic eruption or landslide are important factors that determine the size and strength of the resulting tsunami.
Yes it is possible. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake caused a large tsunami.
there was tsunami because the earthquake had a high magnitude,so made big that caused the tsunami
No

an earthquake (magnitude of 9.0).
Yes, the 9.0 magnitude earthquake caused the tsunami.

The tsunami inMarch 11, 2011was triggered by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake near the coast of Japan.
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred near the east coast of Japan, which triggered a massive tsunami. UPDATE: Official magnitude was updated to 9.1 on Nov 7, 2016.
