Hey Brian, I'll give you the geology bit to save you some time:

The only fault line capable of enormous spontaneous upthrust (and therefore
water displacement) is known as a "Divergent Faultline", shown on the Rutger's
map below in red. Basically this means that the tectonic plates pull apart
(diverge) from each other to enable new magna to thrust up through the middle.
Fine, heaps of displaced water and really big bouncy tsunamis. The giant Alaskan
earthquake caused an equally giant tsunami because of the divergent fault you
can see on the map.

The San Andreas fault falls into a second class called a "Transform
Fault", where the two tectonic plates simply grind alongside each other, colored
pink on the map. This causes massive property damage from the vibrations (as in
the San Francisco Earthquake), but no water displacement. Remember, to generate
a tsunami, or even a mere ripple, the water must first be displaced by other
matter. This is basic stuff outlined in Archimedes Principle, so no need to
delve any deeper here.

Lastly we come back to the 'fake quake' of 26 December 2004, which
allegedly occurred on the third class of fault known as a "Convergent
Faultline", colored black on the map, where one tectonic plate slides
(converges) very slowly under another, which in this case means the
Indo-Australian plate sliding steadily eastwards underneath the Eurasian plate.
But as in the case of the Transforn Fault, movement is horizontal, displacing
no appreciable quantities of water.

Come on Brian, do give me your expert opinion.

Can a transform fault displace huge quantities of water?

A simply *yes* or *no* will suffice.
