A succession of ocean waves set in motion by a submarine earthquake (also known as underwater earthquake) is called a tsunami. This happens when tectonic plates move, converge, or subduct. Submarine earthquakes are common in Asia where there’s a submarine earthquake zone called Pacific Ring of Fire.

Answer: None, it would be 24 hours of darkness
Explanation:
This is because December 21st marks the astronomical start of winter for the northern hemisphere with the winter solstice. During this season the days are shorter than the nights, and as we get closer to the North Pole, we will have up to 24 hours of darkness.
That is why on December 21st, the sun is not visible for 24 hours and the next days (the closer it is to the north pole) it will stay that way. Therefore, the inhabitants of this area will have longer periods of darkness.
Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.
When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water
), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.
However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.
