The correct sort of characteristics is the following.

Mass wasting:

-It’s a movement of land triggered by gravity.

-Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard.

-One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.

Tsunamis:

-The name means "harbor wave."

-Scientists used deep-ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard.

Both:

-It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement.

When geologists study the large movements of the land or rocks from mountains and hills, they are studying the effects of mass wasting. This is when you are driving your car on a road in the middle of the mountains and you see traffic signs that warn you about "watch for debris or rocks," that fall from the top of the mountains. This phenomenon is produced by the force of gravity.

A Tsunami is a giant wave after an earthquake and makes the level of the sea rise. This phenomenon is not a common one, fortunately by man. But when it happens, it is a destructive force that destroys the cities located in the harbors.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>A wide range of waves, including tidal waves, have a wavelength, a wave tallness, a plentifulness, a recurrence or period, and a speed.  </em>

Wavelength is characterized as the separation between two indistinguishable focuses on a wave (for example between wave peaks or wave troughs).  

Ordinary sea waves have <em>wavelengths of around 100 meters.</em>  

Waves have any longer wavelengths, generally estimated in <em>kilometers and as much as 200 kilometers</em>
