a) tidal wave.
b) body wave.
c) surface wave.
d) tsunami.
question 4 (5 points)
in which layer does mantle convection occur?
a) inner core
b) crust

Explanation:

1. Tsunamis are large - scale ocean waves generated by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Tidal waves are caused by gravitational forces of the moon and sun, body waves travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves travel along the Earth - air or Earth - water boundaries.
2. Mantle convection occurs in the mantle. The inner core is solid and not involved in mantle - type convection. The crust is the outermost layer and not the site of mantle convection.

Answer:

1. D. tsunami
2. None of the above options are correct. Mantle convection occurs in the mantle.
