Question
a certain island was evacuated because waves of 80 feet were coming towards the island. which natural disaster prompted this evacuation? cyclone tsunami blizzard earthquake
A tsunami is a series of large ocean waves caused by underwater disturbances such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. These waves can be extremely large (in this case, 80 feet) and travel across the ocean, posing a significant threat to coastal areas and islands. Cyclones are large - scale air mass rotations with strong winds. Blizzards are severe snowstorms with strong winds. Earthquakes are ground - shaking events (though they can cause tsunamis, the key here is the large - scale ocean wave which is characteristic of a tsunami).
