D

<u>A tsunami</u> is a succession of ocean waves set in motion by a submarine earthquake.

Explanation:

Usually, an earthquake is caused by the release of energy when two plates that were stuck together, then get released suddenly. Usually, when the plates get unstuck, there is also a sudden displacement beginning at the point they were stuck. If this displacement occurs in the ocean, then the displacement of water at the region also subsequently happens.  This displacement becomes a wave that dissipates the energy away from the epicenter. As the wave gets closer to the continental shelf, they grow larger and turn into a tsunami wave that bombards the shores.

This is why there is usually a tsunami warning when an earthquake occurs deep in the ocean.

What would happen if there was a sudden increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere?
nadya68 [22]
There would be a much more severe caae of global warming if there is a sudden increase in greenshouses gases.

With greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, the heat of the earth cannot be penentrated throught the atmosphere and will be trapped, the sunlight also cannot be reflected. This will cause the temperature of the earth’s surface to rise greatly.

The ice of the polar will melt resulting in the increase of water level globally. The increase of water level, when all the ice melt, will flood over some places in countires, even flooding the countries in low lying areas such as Japan.

It will also cause an imbalance in the ecosystem as some of the organisms require a certain temperature to facilitate its growth. With the high temperature, some types of organisms might not be able to survive while the organisms that favors high temperature will have a growth that distrupt the ecosystem. For example, coral reef will die if the temperature exceed 29°c.

Hope it helps!
