Tsunamis occur in water bodies, usually where an earthquake or volcano occurs. They become tsunamis when they get close to land.
It can occur anywhere when a earthquake underwater happens and the place for it to happen is at a area with shallow waters and it is along the Coastlines
Wherever a standing body of water occurs, and a shift in the support sytem encompassing that water (e.g. rock, ground, sand, etc.) "shifts", an impulse occurs. This "impulse" travels away from the source of same until it's energy runs out. If nothing disturbs the support system, there will never be a tsunami.
Let's simplify. Sound waves are identical to tsunami waves. They expand outward from the source of "vibration". No vibration, no waves. Thus, where ever there is potential for vibration in a support system for pooled water, there is potential for a tsunami.
