How Tsunamis are formed
-
Yes, there was a famous land tsunami in Italy 1959 in a dam
Glacier and cliff tops fall into the water from tremendous heights and cause a massive wave of energy and cause tsunamis
Krakatau Volcano Eruption in Indonesia - 3 way natural disaster
Volcanic eruption, landslide fell from the side of the volcano, land slide fell into the ocean, causing a big tsunami.

Undersea earth quakes
Earthquakes are well known, common factors that happen on our planet almost every day. Earthquakes that happen under the sea are the most common causes of a tsunami.
-
This is caused when an earthquake happens on the bottom of the seabed, it sends out an unbelievable amount of power pushing the water higher than the usual sea level height, but because of gravity's force it gets pulled back down and forms a powerful ripple travelling exactly 360 degrees around.
Earthquake causes under the sea: 1. Transform boundaries, 2. convergent boundaries 3. Divergent boundaries

It is because of their long wavelengths that tsunamis behave as shallow-water waves. A wave is characterized as a shallow-water wave when the ratio between the water depth and its wavelength gets very small.At first the sea water will go low and low and then the waves will get bigger and bigger
