Question

The tremor of the ocean bottom is related to

• A. Cyclone
• B. Tsunami
• C. Tide
• D. None of these

Hint:

Tsunamis are caused by sudden disturbances at the sea floor, while cyclones are atmospheric. Don’t confuse them.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the concept.
When a sudden movement or tremor occurs at the bottom of the ocean (due to undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides), it displaces a large volume of water. This displacement generates huge ocean waves called tsunamis.
Step 2: Analyzing the options.
(A) Cyclone: Caused by atmospheric disturbances, not ocean bottom tremors.
(B) Tsunami: Correct — Directly caused by undersea tremors or displacements.
(C) Tide: Related to gravitational pull of the moon and sun, not to ocean bottom tremors.
(D) None of these: Incorrect, since tsunami is directly related.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B) Tsunami, as it results from tremors at the ocean bottom.
