The correct response is:
They cause small waves in the open ocean, but large ones near the shore.
Tsunamis typically have long wavelengths and can go unnoticed in deep water, leading to small wave heights. However, as they approach the shore, they can increase dramatically in height, resulting in large, destructive waves.

The correct response is:
earthquakes: landslides tsunamis: move blocks of land up or down.
Earthquakes can trigger landslides and other ground movements, while tsunamis can cause significant changes in the coastal landscape, including shifting large blocks of land.

All three phenomena—earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides—can cause tsunamis. Earthquakes are the most common cause, but volcanic eruptions (especially underwater eruptions) and landslides (both underwater and near the shore) can also generate tsunamis.
An area near a coastline has a lot of damage. Earth materials are cracked and moved from one place to another, and there are a lot of flooded areas and places with extreme erosion. What is the most likely reason for these changes?(1 point)
Responses
An earthquake caused all the damage.

Both an earthquake and a tsunami caused the damage.

Earthquakes can crack and move earth materials, while tsunamis can lead to flooding and extreme erosion along the coastline. The combination of these events is often responsible for the type of extensive damage described.
The 3rd one is wrong. It was: "earthquakes: open up large cracks in Earth’s crust
tsunamis: erosion of beaches" (For 2024 for anyone reading this)
tsunamis: erosion of beaches" (For 2024 for anyone reading this)
Thank you for the clarification. The correct response indeed should focus on the specific impacts of each event:
- Earthquakes: open up large cracks in Earth’s crust
- Tsunamis: erosion of beaches
Each event has distinct mechanisms of causing damage, and it's important to accurately represent those effects. I appreciate your feedback! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
