Explanation Text Part 3 (Questions and Answers)
The following text is for number 1-3!
Tsunami occurs when major fault under the ocean floor
suddenly slips. The displaced rock pushes water above it like a giant paddle,
producing powerful water waves at the ocean surface. The ocean waves spread out
from the vicinity of the earthquake source and move across the ocean until they
reach the coastline, where their height increases as they reach the continental
shelf, the part of the earth crust that slopes, or rises, from the ocean floor
up to the land.
A tsunami washes ashore with oftendisastrous effects such as
severe flooding, loss of lives due to drowning and damage to property.
A tsunami is a very large sea wave that is generated by a
disturbance along the ocean floor. This disturbance can be an earthquake, a
landslide, or a volcanic eruption. A tsunami is undetectable far out in the
ocean, but once it reaches shallow water, this fast traveling wave grows very
large.

The following text is for number 4-5!
An earthquake is a shaking of the ground caused by the
sudden breaking and movement of large sections (tectonic plates) of the earth’s
rocky outermost crust.
Earthquakes are usually caused when a rock underground
suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic
waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are
rubbing catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other,
but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure
that’s built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs.
