It's literally wet! You'll get dampened indeed.
Tsunamis are generated by water displacement from e.g. underwater seismic activity or a massive landslide. Wind-driven waves or tides would be driven by sustained forces.
Whether or not an asteroid can/has cause(d) a tsunami I don't know.
- raattgift 11y agoA sufficiently energetic meteor strike will cause a high enough amplitude wave to qualify as tsunamis (and which therefore would produce destructive effects onshore). Exact modelling is tricky, but that sort of thing appeals to some geophysicists.
