Question III. Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions below.(10 pts)
Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour waveand is used as the scientific term for
seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landslide or volcanic
eruption. When the ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created
similar to the concentric waves generated by an object dropped into the water. Most tsunamis
originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32.500 kilometres long that
encircles the Pacific Ocean. Since 1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands.
A tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds
of kilometres across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour.
Upon entering shallow coastal waters, the wave, which may have been only about half a metre
high out at sea,suddenly grows rapidly. When the wave reaches the shore, it may be 15 m high
or more. Tsunamis have tremendous energy because of the great volume of water affected. They
are capable of obliterating coastal settlements.
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise
underneath hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach
land. Storm surges are particularly devastating if they occur at high tide. A cyclone and
accompanying storm surge killed an estimated 500.000 people in Bangladesh in 1970. The
tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people.
