• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

A tsunami is a series of waves generated by large impulsive displacement of the sea bed, Tsunamis mainly are caused by earthquakes under the water, landslides, volcanic activities and can also be caused by a meteor impact. This happens because oceans also have tectonic plate boundaries similar to continents whose displacement can cause disturbances under the water.
