I'd assume quakes transform much more energy into tsunami waves than meteorite hit does.

- fghorow 2y agoThat is not correct. Earthquakes' energy doesn't all go to displacing water and hence generating tsunamis. An ocean impact is significantly more efficient at transferring energy into tsunamis. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780444515520000163 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B97804...
