Question

Statement I
Tsunami is small in open ocean yet may be over 30 m high when it reaches a coastline.
Statement II
Tsunam is have long wavelength and they travel across the open ocean at high speed. As they approach shore, the wavelength decreases and the wave height increases.

Options:

A . Statement I is false, but Statement II is true

B . Statement I is true, but Statement II is false

C . Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

D . Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)In the open ocean the height of tsunami is less than 1 meter however, its height increases up to 15 meters or more at shallow coastal water. The wavelength in the open ocean is between 650 to 960 km/h.
