Choose one or more:
A. normal faulting on the seafloor
B. volcanic eruptions
C. landslides
D. iceberg calving
E. subduction-zone earthquakes

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option E

Explanation:

Subduction zones are particularly powerful in creating seismic tremors, subduction zones and earth shakes are plate structural limits where two plates join and one plate is pushed beneath the other.

Tectonic subduction and structural plate limits are the territory bound to cause torrent, collisions of these plates cause quakes as these plates move past one another uprooting enormous territories of ocean bottom up to couple of kilometer to 1000 kilometer these huge vertical dislodging produce ruinous tidal wave as water is dislodged.  

Development on ordinary separation point will likewise cause uprooting of ocean bottom however because of size of such occasions they are typically too little to even consider generating huge tidal wave.

The correct statement is that the largest and most destructive tsunamis in human history have been associated with either subduction-zone earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.

The correct options that match the statement quoted above are as under B and E.

Earthquakes

  • Volcanic eruptions refer to such earthquakes when the explosions from the volcano are released in the form of lava and gas, causing huge damages and destruction.

  • Volcanic eruptions however are not to be experienced in the world in recent times due to climatic changes. Subduction-zone earthquakes are the largest and most destructive earthquakes ever.

  • Such earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates of the Earth are driven back in to the mantle of the Earth, and the explosion is the most massive ever experienced.

Hence, the correct options are B and E that the volcanic eruptions and subduction-zone earthquakes are the most destructive earthquakes in the history.
