earthquake - related tsunami are created by sub sea fault movements with pronounced vertical offsets of the seafloor. such movements occur most commonly along
transform boundaries
rift valleys
spreading centers
subduction zones
Subduction zones are areas where one tectonic plate is forced under another. The sub - sea fault movements with significant vertical offsets of the seafloor that can cause earthquake - related tsunamis occur most commonly along subduction zones. In transform boundaries, the plates slide past each other horizontally; rift valleys and spreading centers are associated with divergence and have different types of tectonic activities not typically characterized by the vertical offsets needed for major tsunami - generating earthquakes.
