What type of earthquake creates a tsunami?
[ "Tectonic", "volcanic", "collapse", "underwater" ]
D
An underwater earthquake creates a tsunami this way: the movement of the crust displaces water. The displacement forms a set of waves. The waves travel at jet speed through the ocean. Since the waves have low amplitudes and long wavelengths, they are unnoticed in deep water. As the waves reach shore they compress. They...
