Which of the following statements correctly describe Tsunamis?

  1. Tsunamis are often referred to as "seismic sea waves."
  2. The word "Tsunami" originates from Japanese, meaning "harbor wave."
  3. Tsunamis are characterized by a series of small waves with short wavelengths.
  4. They are primarily generated by sudden displacements on the seafloor.

    Aരണ്ടും നാലും

    Bരണ്ട് മാത്രം

    Cഒന്നും രണ്ടും നാലും

    Dഒന്നും മൂന്നും

    Answer:

    C. ഒന്നും രണ്ടും നാലും

    Read Explanation:

    • Tsunamis are powerful ocean waves caused by large-scale disturbances, typically seismic events. Unlike regular wind-driven waves, tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths and periods, often tens to hundreds of kilometers long, and their entire water column from surface to seafloor is displaced, giving them immense energy and destructive potential upon reaching coastlines.
