Question

Sort the characteristics based on whether they describe mass wasting, tsunamis, or both.


1. It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement.


2. The name means "harbor wave."


3. It’s movement of land triggered by gravity.


4. Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard.


5. Scientists use deep ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard.


6. One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.





three categories to place into are


mass wasting

tsunamis

both

Answer 1

Answer:

• 1. It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement.   -    both
• 2. The name means "harbor wave."   -    tsunamis
• 3. It’s movement of land triggered by gravity.   -     mass wasting
• 4. Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard.   -  mass wasting
• 5. Scientists use deep ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard.  -  tsunamis
• 6. One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.    
• mass wasting

Explanation:

• The characteristics of the tsunamis are related to those associated with the shaking of the ground that is produced by the movement of the tectonic plates from below as in the event of the earthquakes and thus the sudden release of the violent energy create huge killer waves and they can also lead to the mass wasting phenomenon.

• Hence the process of mass wasting occurs due to the movement of the layers of them is under the flow of the gravity and is a hazard that is associated with the earthquakes.

Answer 2

The Characteristics specific to to the tsunamis and mass wasting or both are:

1. Both mass wasting and tsunamis.
2. Tsunamis
3. Mass wasting  
4. Mass wasting
5. Tsunami
6. Mass wasting

What is tsunamis?

Tsunamis are  known to be a kind of ocean waves that is said to be influenced by big earthquakes that happens near or under the ocean.

Mass wasting is the transfer or move of rock or soil from one point to another, usually down a slope.

Therefore we can say that all the characteristics such as mass wasting and tsunamis can be triggered by tectonic plate movement and the others are true because it is an attribute specific to them
