Answer:

Tsunamis are caused by violent seafloor movement associated with earthquakes, landslides, lava entering the sea, seamount collapse, or meteorite impact. The most common cause is earthquakes. See the percentages on the right for the geological events that cause tsunamis. Note that 72% of tsunamis are generated by earthquakes. A disturbance that displaces a large water mass from its equilibrium position can cause a tsunami.

Write an 2 paragraphs about germination! PLEASE ASAP ☹
balu736 [363]

Germination is a process where plants and other organisms emerge from gymnosperm/angiosperm seeds and start their growth. Gymnosperms are seeds that are not protected by an ovule. Angiosperms are vascular plants that grow fruit and flowers, which are protected by ovule. Sprouting of a seedling from a seed is an example of germination. Fully developed seeds contain an embryo, that store food reserves and are wrapped in the seed coat. Some factors of successful germination include water, oxygen, temperature, type of soil, and light intake.
