Question: 321
2. The passage names all of the following as possible causes of a tsunami EXCEPT:
- A. tornadoes
- B. landslides
- C. meteor impacts
- D. earthquakes
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A 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.
