A tsunami is a series of waves generated by large undersea disturbances, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. A tsunami ca

n exceed 100 km in wavelength, but measure about 3 m in height. However, as they near shallower water, the wavelength lessens and wave height increases, creating potentially devastating waves in coastal areas. Which of the following best describes the population dynamics in areas of the continental U.S. with the greatest tsunami hazard?
A. Though values vary, the population only modestly increased (0-4.9%) between 2000 and 2010 throughout the areas with the greatest tsunami hazard.
B. Though population trends vary throughout the areas with the greatest tsunami hazard, overall there has been a net decrease in population.
C. The central Oregon coast has both the highest tsunami hazard and the highest population increase between 2000 and 2010.
D. The areas with the greatest tsunami risk correspond to areas that have had the greatest population decrease (-46.6% to -5%) from 2000 to 2010.
E. Some of the areas with the highest population increases between 2000 and 2010 (above 14.9%) occur in areas with the greatest tsunami risk.

Answer:

E. Some of the areas with the highest population increases between 2000 and 2010 (above 14.9%) occur in areas with the greatest tsunami risk.

Explanation:

A Tsunami can also be called a tidal wave and is characterized by the displacement of a large volume of wave-shaped water capable of advancing in the terrestrial portion and causing great destruction. Although it does not happen very often, there are areas in the USA with high tsunami risks. These areas are the ones with the highest population growth, which can be a major concern for governments if they need to act against tsunamis.

In the case of you question, India and Asia are an example of a Convergent Boundary. According to the theory of Continental Drift - India crashed into India. The two land masses buckled and folded - forming the Himalayas!

Which features do all new rocks formed near an oceanic ridge share? Check all that apply.
Wittaler [7]

The answers that apply are;

  • striped pattern
  • provide evidence to seafloor spreading

Ocean ridges can be found at divergent boundaries where two plates are moving away from each other. As the magma rises to fill the void, it cools into rock and forms new crust. The iron minerals in the rocks align with the earth’s magnetic field before the rock cools. This causes the rocks in these areas of seafloor spreading to have band-like patterns.  The irons align differently each number of years in relation to the flipping of the earth’s magnetic field. This phenomenon has been used to determine the ages of these rock layers.
