No. Tsunamis are caused by one of two causes: earthquakes occurring in the sea floor or an enormous solid mass falling into the sea at a fast pace (e.g. a landslide or pyroclastic flow from a volcano). Beach erosion is too slow to cause such violent natural phenomena.
True. Beaches are made of sand that is often formed from the erosion of rocks and minerals along coasts. This erosion can come from various sources, such as wave action, weathering, and human activities.
True. Tsunamis typically cause widespread and severe damage due to their powerful and destructive nature, impacting coastal areas over large distances. Tornadoes can also be destructive, but their damage is usually localized to a smaller area compared to the widespread devastation caused by tsunamis.
True. Deposition occurs when the agents of erosion, such as water, wind, or ice, deposit or lay down sediment that they have previously transported from one location to another. This sediment accumulates in new areas, forming landforms like deltas, beaches, or alluvial fans.
None, people used to think it caused erosion or leave solids behind but it was proven not true
It can be either true or false. Some beaches are covered with sand. Others are covered in different types of materials such as pebbles.
No. There is no wind, gravity, or water on the moon. The footsteps of the men who landed there are still there.
True!
True
The Gulf of Mexico is generally considered to be at a lower risk for tsunamis compared to other regions, such as the Pacific Ocean. While tsunamis can occur due to underwater landslides or seismic activity, significant tsunamis in the Gulf are rare. The topography and geological features of the region do not typically favor the generation of large tsunamis. However, smaller tidal waves or seiche events can occur, but they are not classified as true tsunamis.
No, subsidence is typically caused by the collapse of underground materials such as soil and rock, rather than flooding caves. Flooding caves may contribute to erosion of underground materials, but it is not a direct cause of subsidence.
True.
No. Tsunamis may only be a few centimetres high in DEEP water but as the water depth decreases the wave height increases.
