A tsunami is the result of an underwater earthquake. It's basically just a really, really big wave.
The epicenter of an earthquake that causes a tsunami would likely be beneath the ocean floor, where the earthquake originated. Tsunamis are often triggered by undersea earthquakes that displace a large volume of water, creating the giant waves that can lead to a tsunami event.
Yes.The 1983 Sea of Japan earthquake caused over 100 deaths, nearly all due to the resultant Tsunami, including three people killed on the East cost of South Korea. Casualties for North Korea are unknown.The 1993 Hokkaidō earthquake also caused Tsunami activity in South Korea and the Korean Peninsula is likely to have been affected by several Japanese tsunamis originating in the South of Japan such as the 1792 Unzen earthquake, and the 1911 Kikai Island earthquake.
The earthquake that struck Japan on March 11, 2011, created a massive tsunami. The earthquake caused the ocean floor to shift abruptly, displacing a large volume of water that formed waves that swept towards the coast of Japan, causing widespread devastation.
No. Tsunamis are the result of earthquakes that occur under the ocean, primarily in subduction zones. The Colorado Rockies have neither of these traits.
Once the earthquake that triggered the tsunami occurred, authorities knew that a tsunamis was likely. Prior to the earthquake there was no way of predicting it.

when two plates move inside the earth and build up pressure and then the pressure s released causing an earthquake. after the earthquake if it big enough then it will cause a tsunami
Colorado, because in Colorado there are colder temperatures and more mountains.

It is most likely to have just been caused randomly by the three plates that board Japan or the rather small Chinese earthquake a day prior to the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami.
You can reduce effect of tsunami but there is no way you can avoid it for certain, area which are most likely to get hit by tsunami are area near sea and ocean (large amount of water) and area which also has high earthquake zone. If you are not affected by these two factors you are very unlikely to get hit by the tsunami.
