Question

Tsunamis are a series of waves in the ocean that create surges of water. These walls of water can reach up to 100 feet high and cause widespread destruction when they reach shore. Earthquakes on the sea floor are the usual cause of tsunamis. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary raises or falls, it displaces water and sends rolling waves that become a tsunami. Around 80 percent of tsunamis happen in the so-called "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean. This is a volcanically active area were tectonic plate shifts and earthquakes are common. Underwater landslides and volcanic eruptions can also start tsunamis. In Earth's ancient past, tsunamis were caused by a meteorite crashing into the ocean. People's best defense against tsunamis is early warnings that allow people to evacuate areas near the ocean. Choose TRUE or FALSE. 1. Tsunami is a massive wave in the ocean. 2. Most % of tsunamis occur in Atlantic Ocean. 3. Earthquake is the cause of tsunamis.​

Answer 2

1. TRUE. A tsunami is indeed a massive wave in the ocean.
2. FALSE. Around 80 percent of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean, specifically in the "Ring of Fire" region.
3. TRUE. Earthquakes are a common cause of tsunamis. When an earthquake occurs on the seafloor, it can displace a large volume of water, leading to the formation of tsunami waves.
