Tsunamis

Tsunamis are giant waves resulting from ​ (a)   , ​ (b)   , ​ (c)   , any sort of ​ (d)   of water in the ​ (e)   .

• earthquakes
• volcanic eruptions
• meteor impacts
• major displacement
• ocean
• landslides
• nuclear explosions
• tornadoes
• icebergs
• tsunami

Tsunamis are incredibly dangerous since they

• are fast

• travel quickly

• difficult to detect

• high tides

• strong currents

Tsunami

As the wave approaches the shore

• the wave gets higher significantly

• the wave slows down significantly

• the wave speeds up significantly

• the wave slopes down significantly

As the wave approaches the shore the wave slows down significantly

• but its amplitude slows exponentially and breaks the wave

• but its amplitude increases exponentially without the wave breaking

• but its amplitude decreases exponentially and breaking the wave

• but its amplitude stays the same exponentially without the wave breaking

tsunamis

When the wave hits the coast, it does so with

• an immense amount of speed

• an immense amount of energy

• an immense amount of strength

• an immense amount of salt

tsunamis

When the wave hits the coast, it does so with an immense amount of energy

• and its amplitude continues to slow

• and its amplitude continues to fall

• and its amplitude continues to rise

• and its amplitude continues to grow

tsunamis

When the wave hits the coast, it does so with an immense amount of energy and its amplitude continues to grow

• as it gains strength even more

• as it slows down even more

• as it speeds up even more

• as it lowers down even more

Tsunamis have so much energy that they can

• travel two miles inland

• travel several miles inland

• travel ten miles inland

• travel five miles inland

Tsunamis flood vast expanses of land and cause

• more damage

• immense amounts of damage

• some damage

• slight damage

Tsunamis flood vast expanses of land and cause immense amounts of damage

• due to the energy they impact the coast with

• the fact that they collect debris as they inundate more areas

• due to the strong winds that impact the waves

• the fact that they erode rocks and cliffs more quickly

• due to the eruptions of inland hazards
