3. Question
Which of the following statements is correct regarding tsunamis?
CorrectAnswer: B
• A tsunami is an ocean wave triggered by large earthquakes that occur near or under the ocean,
volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, or by onshore landslides in which large volumes of debris fall
into the water.• Once a tsunami forms, its speed depends on the depth of the ocean. In the deep ocean, a tsunami can
move as fast as a jet plane, over 500 mph, and its wavelength, the distance from crest to crest, maybe
hundreds of miles. A tsunami only becomes hazardous when it approaches land. As a tsunami enters shallow
water near coastal shorelines, it slows to 20 to 30 mph. The wavelength decreases, the height increases,
and the currents intensify.• Tsunami causes devastation near the coast of the sea as the speed of the sonic waves generated at the
epicentre is directly proportional to the depth of the sea.IncorrectAnswer: B
