Likeness: they are both a destructive storm 
Different: caused by displacement of water
                  caused by tectonic plates of Earth's crust move against each other causing a disturbance

Answer:

Similarities:

earthquakes and tsunami are both very destructive

Difference:

  • tsunami is caused by huge displacement of water from large water bodies
  • earthquakes are caused by displacement of the earth crust i.e tectonic plates of the earth crust slipping past each other

Explanation:

A tsunami is a very huge displacement of water causing a series of waves in a very large water body like oceans, seas and other large water bodies. a tsunami might be caused by eruptions or volcanoes which occur under, above or around a very large water bodies. it might also be caused by earthquakes occurring beneath the water body.

An earth quake is the vibration of the earth crust due to the movement/slipping of the tectonic plates against each other. this happens usually at plates boundaries.earth quake is felt on the earth crust when the tension between the plates is released.
