tsunamis are created when a maginutde of 5.3 or higher earthqauke occurs by a large body of water, the shaking of the ground causes the water to move or the vibration, therfore causing a tsunami . Also California would have a tsunami after a earthqauke if it was big enougth , and if it was close enough to the shore.
