The correct answer is b. - tsunamis.

Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning harbor wave.

Tsunamis are giant waves caused by earthquakes or  volcanic eruptions under the sea.  This usually happens deep out in the ocean. The earth movement causes a displacement of water in the form of a large ripple which begins to move inland at tremendous speed.

There is no dramatic increase in height of the wave, but as it moves toward the coast, it builds up to a higher and higher height as the ocean becomes shallower and shallower till when it makes land fall, the wave may be dozens of feet high.

The Battle of the Bulge _____.
Elena L [17]

Answer: happened when Germany surrounded the Allied forces on three sides at the town of Bastogne.

Explanation:

As the Allies closed in on Germany from both East and West in the concluding stages of the World War, the Germans needed a new plan and so they executed an operation much like the one that saw them defeat the Allies in 1940 and enabled them capture France.

This battle led to a siege in Bastogne of the stubborn 101st Airborne Division and other units of the U.S. Army  which refused to surrender to the Germans and held the area until the U.S. Third Army reached them. The HBO miniseries, <em>''Band of Brothers''</em>, covered this to some degree.

Student movements

African-American college students got very involved in the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. For example, four African-American college students started the sit-in protests at the Woolworth's lunch counter in North Carolina. This form of peaceful protest became extremely popular and resulted in the end of segregated seating at this Woolworth's facility.

Women's Liberation

One of the biggest developments of the women's liberation movement was the publishing of the book the <em>Feminine </em><em>Mystique </em>by Betty Friedan. This book has sold millions of copies and was known for its radical views. In this book, Friedan discusses how women should not be limited to the role of housewife. Rather, they should follow their own goals and do what they want to do instead of being pressured into societal norms.

Counterculture

The counterculture of the 1960's grew from the development of the Beatnik generation of the 1950's. This group was against organized religion and often experimented with drugs in order to alter their perception of reality.
