Statement I Tsunami is small in open ocean yet may be over 30 m high when it reaches a coastline. |
Statement II Tsunami is have long wavelength and they travel across the open ocean at high speed. As they approach shore, the wavelength decreases and the wave height increases. |
A) Both the statements are individually true and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I
B) Both the statements are individually true but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I
C) Statement I is true, but Statement II is false
D) Statement I is false, but Statement II is true
