Answers & Comments
Answer:
1.Tsunami are waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean surface due to earthquakes, landslides on the sea floor, land slumping into the ocean, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean.
2.The longer the wave, the greater the volume of water involved. Though they appear smaller in height (distance between trough and crest
3.The earthquakes sometimes cause ocean waves called tsunamis.
