Question

When an earthquake occurs within Earth’s crust and sparks a tsunami, energy is transformed. Describe the transformations that occur in this example.

Answer 1

Potential energy into kinetic energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The uplifting of water occurs due to earthquake in the sea floor is refers to potential energy while on the other hand, the movement of water to the land in the form of waves is the kinetic energy. So we can see that the transformations of energy occurs from potential energy due to earthquake into kinetic energy occurs due to movement of water in the form of giant waves (tsunami).
