Question

Tsunamis are more destructive than wind-driven storm waves primarily because: _______________

a. tsunamis always have larger heights (amplitude).
b. the tides that cause tsunamis can be very erratic and unpredictable.
c. tsunamis also generate seismic waves that can destroy buildings.
d. tsunamis have longer wavelengths and thus larger volumes of water are involved.

Answer 1

.D

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of their long wavelengths, tsunamis do not tend to reach the steepness required to break. It is because of these long wavelengths, the volume of water they carry, and the amount energy they transmit that tsunamis are so dangerous.
