The 2004 earthquake in northern Sumatra, Indonesia was caused by a megathrust subduction zone fault between the Indian Plate and the Burma Plate. This type of fault is known as a subduction zone fault, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another.
Great Sumatran fault
The 1964 earthquake in Alaska was caused by a megathrust fault associated with the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate. This type of fault is known as a megathrust or subduction zone fault.
No type of cloud is associated with tusnamis, as a tsunami is not a weather-related phenonomenon. A tsunami can occur during absolutely any type of weather.
Yes, in a strike-slip fault, the fractures are caused by horizontal shear stress. This type of fault occurs when two blocks of rock slide past each other horizontally. Examples of strike-slip faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.

A tsunami is not a type of storm at all. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves usually caused by an underwater earthquake or landslide.

The 1556 Shaanxi earthquake in China was caused by a thrust fault. This type of fault occurs when two tectonic plates are compressed together, forcing one up and over the other. In this case, the thrust fault caused significant damage and loss of life in the region.
