Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A It is a disturbance deep inside the earth's crust.
C Earthquakes can even lead to tsunami.

An earthquake is a sudden tremor or shaking caused in the internal layers of earth that stays for a very short period of time. But it causes massive destruction in that short time. It is a natural disaster and it is very difficult to predict. It usually results in a tsunami if it has occurred in coastal areas.
