A tsunami will reach land and hit the land with a massive amount of water and will topple over small structures, flip cars and move them like dust in the wind. The tsunami can go far into land up to about 8 miles. The tsunami is most likely caused by an earthquake out at sea.
Tsunamis are giant waves caused by undersea earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions. The severity of their effects depends on a number of factors, namely the magnitude of the earthquake, landslide or volcanic eruption, along with its distance from shore. Small and undetectable tsunamis occur almost every day with little to no effect, but larger tsunamis have devastating effects to life and land that are often irreversible. The central effect of large tsunamis is massive loss of human life. With no time to escape, tsunamis cause near instant death, usually by drowning, but also by collapsing buildings, electrocution and more. Since 1850, tsunamis have killed more than 430,000 people. The March 2011 tsunami in Japan left a total of 18,550 people killed and/or missing. The severe flooding that occurs as a result of a tsunami also damages sewer systems, water supplies and soil. Stagnant and contaminated water leads to malaria and other diseases, causing illness, infection and death to spread rapidly. Soil becomes salinized from sea water and debris, effecting long-term yields of crops. The tall and fast-moving waves also damage property and permanently alter the landscape, sometimes wiping out entire islands. They destroy everything in their path, including buildings, trees, power lines, bridges, cars, boats and more, leaving behind them a mass of solid waste and debris that is almost impossible to clean up. They also destroy animal life, insects, plants and natural resources. Hazardous materials and toxic substances are also a concern, as asbestos, oil fuel and other industrial raw materials and chemicals often leak as a result of property damage.
The correct answer is - glacial erosion and sea level rise. The glaciers make U shaped valleys as they move downwards. When they come to the sea they melt (if the sea is not frozen as well). So once the whole glacier starts to melt it leaves behind a U shaped valley, and when the last ice age finished they did melt, but also the sea level rose, so the sea filled the U shaped valleys left by the glaciers, thus the fjords formed.
If the air cools to its dew point temperature (in other words if it reaches saturation with respect to water vapor), condensation is forced and some of the water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water droplets
D.Weather and climate are impacted by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Explanation:
The gravitational pull of the moon has a strong impact on our planet, even influencing weather and climate. This is because this gravitational attraction emits waves in our atmosphere, causing it to pulse and interfere with the arrangement of molecules that can influence the climate of a region, in addition to changing the temperature of the winds and influencing the weather of a place.
