Question: 248
2. The passage names all of the following as possible causes of a tsunami EXCEPT
- A. earthquakes
- B. volcanic eruptions
- C. landslides
- D. meteor impacts
Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
E is correct. As stated in the second paragraph, "Most tsunamis are generated by earthquakes, but they may also be caused by volcanic eruptions, landslides, undersea slumps, or meteor impacts." Tornadoes are mentioned along with hurricanes, not as a cause of tsunamis, but rather as another kind of natural disaster.
