Question

An earthquake, a volcanic eruption, and underwater landslides can shift large amounts of ocean water. As a result, huge tidal waves called are formed.

• A. tsunamis
• B. cyclones
• C. whirlpools

Answer 1

The correct option is A tsunamis

Cyclones are large masses of air that rotate around a central point of low pressure. They are typically characterised by inward spiralling winds. Whirlpools, on the other hand, are quickly rotating masses of water in rivers or seas, usually caused by the meeting of conflicting currents. Lastly, tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides under the sea.
