anything that can cause a large disturbance in the ocean can cause a tsunami. however, it's unlikely that an asteroid would cause a tsunami for a couple of reasons :
1. asteroids usually burn up in the atmosphere anyway, and even if it makes it through, it's usually too tiny to cause a tusnami
2. tsunamis are especially devastating because it's not just a topical wave, the whol body of water moves, it's like a wall of moving water. Asteriods would have to enter the water @ just the right angle to create a tsunami
3. all in all, it could happen, but it's unlikely

What consequences can result from an asteroid impact?
Many things can happen if an asteroid hit the earth. Here is a list of a few consequences. There could be an explosion when the asteroid hits the earth.

What causes a tsunami answer with no hard words please?
Tsumamis are often caused by undersea earthquakes. The earthquake makes the ocean floor move, which causes the tsunami-wave.
