Question
Take a look at the passage discussing an earthquake.
Item
Item 4
COURSE TOOLS
"A massive wave known as a tsunami was generated by an earthquake beneath the ocean surface. This tsunami traveled across the ocean and struck a distant island, resulting in significant destruction."
Did the water that reached the island originate from the same water located above the earthquake on the ocean floor?
Item 5
(1 point)
Yes, the water particles shifted towards the island while the energy stayed situated above the earthquake.
No, the water located above the earthquake remained stationary, and only the energy was transferred.
Item 6
Item 7
<
No, the energy within the wave propelled the water particles from above the earthquake in the opposite direction.

The correct answer to the question of whether the water that reached the island originated from the same water located above the earthquake on the ocean floor is:
**Yes, the water particles shifted towards the island while the energy stayed situated above the earthquake.**
This option correctly describes the behavior of water particles in a tsunami. When the tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake, the energy of the wave travels through the ocean, but the water particles themselves move in a direction dictated by the wave, creating displacement towards the shore or the island. Therefore, the water particles that reached the island were originally part of the water above the earthquake, although their movement is influenced by the energy transmitted by the wave.
