Question

Tsunamis are often the result of underwater earthquakes. A tsunami can produce waves of up to 20 meters in height when they reach the shore, causing immense damage. Which of the following is a consequence of these catastrophic events?

Replenishment of the area’s water table
Loss of biodiversity as habitats are destroyed
Greater financial gain by the fishing industry
Secondary earthquakes that cause further destruction

Answer 1

B. Loss of biodiversity as habitats are destroyed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For A, it wouldn’t make sense for the water tables to be replenished after a tsunami.

For C, fishing industries actually should have financial losses because of the tsunami, not many fish should be in the area.

For D, well tbh another earthquake shouldn’t happen, one earthquake following another yes would be catastrophic but isn’t very likely to happen. •_•

In other words, B makes the most sense and most reasonable.

Hope this helps, have a great summer! :D
