Question

question 45
which of the following is true regarding submarine mass movements?
they can induce liquefaction.
they can trigger tsunamis.
they can trigger lahars.
they can trigger earthquakes.

Explanation:

Submarine mass movements displace a large volume of water. This displacement can generate tsunamis. Liquefaction is mainly related to soil behavior during earthquakes (not directly submarine mass movements). Lahars are volcanic mudflows. Earthquakes can cause submarine mass movements, not the other way around.

Answer:

They can trigger tsunamis.
