Question

Watch the Submarine Slide portion of the Slides topic of the animation. How can a submarine slide at the edge of a continental shelf create a tsunami? Choose one or more:
A. by pushing water being pushed into a bulge ahead of the advancing underwater debris flow.
B. by the upward displacement of the edge of the continental shelf.
C. by the sudden drop of the seafloor as the mass of material breaks off the continental shelf.
D. by the settling of the deep seafloor under the weight of the incoming mud.
E. by the rebound of the continental shelf as mass is released from its edge.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. by pushing water being pushed into a bulge ahead of the advancing underwater debris flow.

Explanation:

• The submarine landslides are a type of landslides that transport the sediments downward and thus the ocean floor is filled with the deep deposits of the sediments due to the downwards driving stress. And theses takes place in a variety of different ways including the planets as low as 1 degree.

• They tend to be caused by various geologic attributes and these include the weak geologic layers, an example of Norway.  

• Overpressuring of the rocks strata, due to the deposition that occurs in the river. Some earthquakes and the associated environmental stresses,  groundwater seewa[page and the glacial loadings.

• Various hazards are associated with the submarine landslide like that of the Tsunamis ad an example of this landslides tsunamis are the landslides if the Papua new guinea as the slides depends on nature and the waves velocity and the wavelength.
