Solution

The correct option is A True
Answer is A.

Earthquakes are caused by shaking of the earth, strain building up in the tectonic plates, plates slipping along the fault lines, etc. and the Tsunamis can also be caused by volcanic eruptions, underwater detonations and even landslides.
Because we cant get deep enough into the Earth to see what happens before an earthquake or tsunami happens, therefore we can't predict when it's coming.
