II. Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question( 1.0pt)
Tsunami is a Japanese word which means harbour waveand is used as the scientific term for seismic sea wave
generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landslide or volcanic eruption. When the ocean floor is
tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created similar to the concentric waves generated by an object
dropped into the water. Most tsunamis originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32.500
kilometres long that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Since 1819, about 40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands.
A tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometres
across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour. Upon entering shallow coastal
waters, the wave, which may have been only about half a metre high out at sea,suddenly grows rapidly. When the
wave reaches the shore, it may be 15 m high or more. Tsunamis have tremendous energy because of the great
volume of water affected. They are capable of obliterating coastal settlements.
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underneath
hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land. Storm surges are
particularly devastating if they occur at high tide. A cyclone and accompanying storm surge killed an estimated
500.000 people in Bangladesh in 1970. The tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed
over 200 thousand people.

9.What killed an estimated 500.000 people in Bangladesh?
A.A tsunami. B. A cyclone and accompanying storm surge.

A.Tsunamis only occur in Asia.
B.A cyclone along with storm surge happened in Asia in 1970.
