So earthquakes caused by humans creates no tsunami while earthquakes caused by the Earth do? I think it's more along the lines of earthquakes that
occur underwater cause tsunamis and earthquakes that occur on land don't.
Here's an experiment for you: Take a bath and put your hand underwater. Move your hand up towards the surface then down again. It displaces a lot of
water and creates waves, right? Now, step out of the bath, grab the side of the bathtub with both hands and shake it. It displaces very little water
and creates very small waves, if any at all, right?
There you go, sport. You are now scientifically edumacated.
