There’s quite a bit of difference between a landslide caused tsunami and a plate subduction tsunami. The first is material pushing the water out from a shoreline. The second involves the movement of the edge of two plates moving up or down from the bottom of a trench. A lot more energy is generated in the massive movement of the second.
