Solution
The correct option is C Both A and B
- A tsunami or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.
- Mangroves are forests of salt-tolerant trees and shrubs that grow in the shallow tidal waters of estuaries and coastal areas in tropical regions. Mangroves protect shorelines from damaging storm and hurricane winds and tsunami.
- A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem characterized by reef-building corals. Reefs are formed of colonies of coral polyps held together by calcium carbonate. Coral reefs provide protection to our coasts from the tsunami, storms, and floods.
- Hence Coral Reefs and Mangroves can act as natural barriers to control Tsunami.
- So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
