The correct answer is: **A.) they cost small waves in the ocean, but large ones nearshore.**
Tsunamis typically travel across the open ocean as small waves that may be difficult to detect. However, as they approach shallower coastal waters, the waves increase in height and can become extremely large and destructive near the shore.
