Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?

Geography

The shockwave from an undersea earthquake causes 'ripples' in the ocean which are very large swells. When the bottom of the swell touches land, it must build up higher to maintain it's size. Therefore when it approaches the beach, water is drawn away from the beach to compensate for the ocean depth getting shallower under the tsunami swell. More water is drawn from in front of the swell than behind due to the movement of the swell.

Write any three features of this trophosphere.​
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The Troposphere is one of the five layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, along with the stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. It is the lowest and closest layer to the Earth’s surface.

The word Tropos is the Greek term for “change”. The change in weather we experience daily all happens in the troposphere. Air at the bottom of the troposphere or near the Earth’s surface is warmer, which means the higher the altitude, the colder it is.

Pls mark as brainliest <3
