Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Tsunamis are defined as the series of waves that are produced in a large water body such as oceans and seas, due to the occurrence of an earthquake, underwater explosion as well as due to the eruption of a volcano.

The tsunami warning system is an instrument that is commonly used in order to detect the occurrence of a tsunami in advance and also to issue the warnings so that the loss of property and life can be reduced.

There is no tsunami warning system in the Indian ocean, as a result of which the people living in the near coastal areas were not warned. This is why the citizens were not prepared and thereby caused a lot of damages to the properties.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Which of these lists is arranged in order from smallest wavelength to longest wavelength?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.
