Earthquakes occur in California and many other areas around the world every year, often multiple times and nearly constantly in others. Yes, it is very likely there will be an earthquake there in 2012. Most of these cannot be felt, though.

Before a tsunami the ocean appears that it is at low tide?

True... The Tsunami 'draws in' water - which makes the local ocean appear to vanish... before the wave hits the shoreline


Is this true or false an earthquake on the ocean floor can produce a tsunami which may grow into a huge wave as it approaches the store?

True. An earthquake on the ocean floor can displace large volumes of water, generating a tsunami. As the tsunami travels toward shallower coastal waters, it can increase in height and intensity, potentially becoming a massive wave that can cause significant destruction upon reaching the shore.

Is it true that there is a giant gorilla?

There is no scientific evidence supporting the existence of giant gorillas. The idea of giant gorillas is often portrayed in fiction, such as in movies like King Kong. In reality, gorillas are the largest living primates but they are not giant in size.


Will the water along a shoreline flow towards the sea just before a tsunami crashes on shore?

Yes, the water along a shoreline may recede just before a tsunami strikes, which is known as a "drawback". This phenomenon is due to the leading edge of the tsunami wave pulling water away from the shore as it approaches.
