Tsunami generation and propagation due to a vertical time-dependent extent of a stochastic submarine slump and landslide model for different values of Froude number and noise intensity are investigated. The critical parameters controlling the oscillations and the amplitude of the free surface elevation are through the Froude number and the noise intensity induced by the stochastic submarine slump and landslide source model. Quantitative information about the tsunami generation and propagation waves will be provided by estimating the evolution of the displaced water volume, the potential, kinetic and total energy of the resulting waves and the averaged tsunami velocity components at different Froude numbers. The inclusion of the random noise of the submarine slump and landslide deformation provided an additional and a noticeable contribution to the quantitative characteristics of the free surface elevation.
