Answer:

<u>Tsunamis are killer waves of local, distant and regional types.</u>

Explanation:

  • Tsunamis are tidal waves that move in series and cause displacement of large bodies of water, caused due to the landslides or tectonic shifts or volcanic eruptions, produced within the earth's crust. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon causes huge waves in the ocean waters which form wave high ranges.
  • Mostly occurring in the Pacific and Indian oceans, local Tsunamis are those that cause damage in the proximity i.e within 100 kilometers. These can be very dangerous as they take about 10 minutes only to affect the people and hence no chance of predation or warnings.
  • Regional Tsunamis are those that cause damage to the <u>100 to 1000 kilometers from underwater events</u>.  As these provide more waning time than the earlier waves but less than 1 hour as they are within the area of 1000 kilometers.
  • Distant Tsunamis are ones that are called Tele tsunamis or ocean-wide tsunamis they often occur with huge destructions and appearing like local Tsunamis but cover a vast expanse of the landmass. The most destructive type of Tsunamis was one on the ocean floor of Indians in 2004 occurring by the earthquake of 9.0 magnitude.

The peace did not last. A month after Rabin, Arafat, and Peres signed a peace agreement in September 1995, on November 4, 1995, Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist at a peace rally in Tel Aviv. Peres became prime minister and pledged to continue the peace process. However, terrorist attacks by Palestinian extremists in early 1996 swayed Israeli public opinion, and in May Benjamin Netanyahu of the right-wing Likud Party was elected prime minister. Netanyahu insisted that Palestinian Authority Chairman Arafat meet his obligation to end terrorism by Palestinian extremists, but sporadic attacks continued and the peace process stalled.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The migration during the 20th century has been mostly from less-developed (poor) countries to more-developed countries.

Explanation:

A is correct because during the 20th century, with the migration policies being made much more friendly and open, the people from the less-developed countries where the living conditions were terrible, to the more-developed countries where they could have much better lives.

B is not correct because it is actually the opposite, where people from different religious beliefs than those of the people of the county of their choice, have migrated and made much more diverse societies.

C is not correct because such migration has not been recorded so far.

D is not correct because the people from more-developed countries usually only visit the less-developed countries as tourists, but very very rarely migrate to them as they are aware of the risks and bad living conditions.
