Geological due to the fact that these killer sea waves are generated by undersea earthquakes. Shifts in the earth's crustal plates along faults, deep sea trenches, and ridges release energy which in turn causes a sudden displacement of oceanic waters in the immediate area. The devastation of the growing tsunami occurs when this energy in the form of water ripples (like when a pebble is dropped into a pond) reach the shore line and grow vertically to 100's of feet tall. Nothing meteorological (weather related) about tsunamis at all.

Are tornadoes geological or meteorological?

Tornadoes are meteorological events. They are caused by atmospheric conditions, particularly within severe thunderstorms, and are characterized by a rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm cloud to the ground. Geology primarily deals with the solid Earth and processes related to rocks, minerals, and landforms, whereas meteorology focuses on the study of the atmosphere and weather phenomena.
