True/False

Answer 1

The 1964 Alaska earthquake did not produce a tsunami that raced across the Atlantic Ocean.

Step-by-step explanation:

False. The 1964 Alaska earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan earthquake, was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. It had a magnitude of 9.2 and occurred on March 27, 1964. While the earthquake did generate a tsunami, it did not race across the Atlantic Ocean. The tsunami primarily affected coastal areas of Alaska, British Columbia, and the west coast of the United States. There were several deaths and widespread damage in these regions, but the tsunami did not reach the Atlantic Ocean.
