Answer 1

The correct response is: **They cause small waves in the open ocean, but large ones near the shore.**

In the open ocean, tsunami waves can travel at high speeds with long wavelengths and may go unnoticed. However, as they approach shallower water near the shore, their speed decreases, and their height increases, resulting in large waves.
