Submarine means occurring under the sea, so a submarine landslide is one that occurs under the sea, usually due to undersea earthquakes and the shifting of tectonic plates.

Does a seismograph measure tsunami?

No. The Richter scale is a measure of the energy released at the focus of the earthquake - the point underground where it occurred. A Tsunami is an ocean wave generally caused by a submarine landslide or earthquake. The landslide or earthquake may have a Richter number associated with it, but the landslide itself need not have been caused by an earthquake. For example a slumping at the terminus of an undersea sediment delta. The Tsunami is the movement of the water caused by the volume of the submarine slump. Hence the common observation of the sea level going down, followed some time later by the sea in-rushing again.
