Question

_____ are huge waves created when an earthquake happens under the sea.

• A. Tsunami
• B. Storms
• C. Fault lines
• D. Shift waves

Answer 1

The correct option is A Tsunami

Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea. Out in the depths of the ocean, tsunami waves do not dramatically increase in height. But as the waves travel inland, they build up to higher and higher heights as the depth of the ocean decreases. Tsunami waves may travel as fast as jet planes over deep waters, only slowing down when reaching shallow waters.
