Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?

Geography
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Answer:    B. Metamorphic rocks  

Explanation:  Metamorphic rocks are those that have undergone changes due to extreme heat and pressure. Thus, the rock, from which it becomes a metamorphic rock, is heated at temperatures above 150-200 ° and exposed to a pressure of 1500 bar.  In this way, the structure of the rock is changed, in terms of the arrangement of the atoms, and the result is a change of physical and chemical properties. There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks: foliated and slate. Generally, some of the metamorphic rocks are anthracite, schist, quartzite, marble, etc.
