Solution

The correct option is C both a and b
A tsunami is a series of waves caused by earthquakes or undersea volcanic eruptions. Tsunamis are giant waves and the speed of these waves depends on ocean depth rather than the distance from the source of the wave. Similarly, seismic waves are waves of energy that travel through the Earth's layers and are a result of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions.
