Yes. The Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 was caused by a major earthquake off the coast of Sumatra.
Yes, it is possible for a earthquake with a rictor scale of 5 to cause one.
Earthquakes over a certain Richter scale that happen under the sea will cause a Tsunami.
No, tsunamis do not make earthquakes. Tsunamis are typically generated by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When an earthquake occurs under the ocean, it can displace a large volume of water and generate a series of powerful waves that make up a tsunami.
That underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis recently was shown on February 27, 2010, when the underwater epicenter of the Chile earthquake sent a tsunami across the Pacific Ocean, initially in the direction of the Hawaiian Islands.
It's the other way around; earthquakes that take place under the ocean cause the displacement of water and hence, tsunamis.
Yes, it can. If an earthquake happenes under water, in the ocean for example, the vibration from the earthquake moves up and causes a wave to form. Most times there is more than one wave

Do hurricanes make tsunamis?
No, hurricanes do not make tsunamis. Hurricanes are formed by atmospheric conditions, while tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides displacing water.
What may be triggered by submarine slides tsunamis liquefaction earthquakes?
tsunamis
What is tsunamis caused by under waters?
Earthquakes.
Have tsunamis scale of Richter?
No. The Richter Scale rates the intensity of earthquakes. There is not intensity scale for tsunamis.
Which is worse earthquakes or tsunamis?
Earthquakes are worse than tsunamis. Earthquakes are mostly unpredictable but tsunamis are sometimes predictable which sets warning for people to escape shore. Earthquakes destroy buildings but tsunamis don't. When tsunamis hit land, the buildings acts like a strong shield that cuts through the tsunami like what the wind-breaker does to the wind. Earthquakes can do more damage than tsunamis because earthquakes destroy buildings which takes much short time than rebuilding it which tsunamis only cause flash flooding which can be recovered as soon as possible. It's very difficult to escape an earthquake but it's sometimes easy to escape a tsunami. It's very difficult to recover the earthquake damage, therefore earthquakes are considered as the modest natural disaster.
Are earthquakes related to tsunamis?
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
Do tsunamis cause earthquakes?
Earthquakes are one (but not the only) cause of tsunamis.
Are earthquakes below the surface called tsunamis?
Mo, they are known as earthquakes but the earthquakes cause the tsunamis.
Are earthquakes related to landslides or tsunamis?
Earthquakes can trigger both landslides and tsunamis.
Why all tsunamis don't cause earthquakes?
Tsunamis do not not cause earthquakes at all. Tsunamis are usually the result of an undersea earthquake.
Do hurricanes make tsunamis?
No, hurricanes do not make tsunamis. Hurricanes are formed by atmospheric conditions, while tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides displacing water.
What are all the tectonic natural disasters?
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
Why are tsunamis associated with earthquakes?
Well, earthquakes do cause tsunamis. But only underwater earthquakes. Plus, they have to be a transform plate boundary earthquake(caused by subduction).Any displacement of water will cause a tsunami. In short, some underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis.
What may be triggered by submarine slides tsunamis liquefaction earthquakes?
tsunamis
What causes most tsunamis earthquakes a full moon a hurricane or a flood?
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.
Why do you got tsunamis?
earthquakes at sea
Why were earthquakes and tsunamis invented?
Because god wanted to make the earth a place full of disasters.
