The correct is - (b) the African plate is spreading apart to form two separate plates.

The African tectonic plate, on of the biggest ones, but it will not be like for a long time in the future as the plate is separating into two parts. The eastern part of the plate is moving towards east, and it is moving away from the mainland Africa. Because of this movement, cracks have been forming all over the eastern side of Africa, thus the numerous faults. Over time, as the distance is increasing, the space in between will fill with ocean water, thus making a natural barrier between them, as well as setting the foundations for the creation of a new sea, or maybe even an ocean.

Why a tsunami often causes a rapid withdrawal?
guajiro [1.7K]
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.

The development of New Orleans was hindered historically because of it's geographical position. It is surrounded by the Bayou, rivers, higher ground, and all this made it more difficult for things to develop in times where technology was not as developed.
