The captain of a ship tells you that he once experienced a huge tsunami while sailing in the Pacific Ocean several hundred miles from any landmass. You decide that this sounds a little farfetched because __________________.
A. tsunami usually occur only in the Indian Ocean and Caribbean Sea
B. tsunami are rarely felt in deep water because they have long wavelengths and low heights
C. the ship could not have survived passing through a major tsunami in the open ocean D. earthquakes do not occur in deep ocean waters
E. the captain did not describe any tremors or shaking associated with an earthquake

Explanation: A tsunami can be defined as a very large and destructive wave, generally caused by a tremendous disturbance in the ocean, such as an undersea earthquake or volcanic eruption. Tsunami are usually a series of waves, or wave train.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami

They have long wavelengths and low heights. A tsunami is also known as a Seismic sea wave.
