HELPPP MEEEEE Elephants on the coast of Thailand are acting strange. They stamp their feet and motion,toward the hills. The sea draws back from the beaches. Fish flop in the mud. Suddenly, a huge,wave appears. This is no ordinary wave. It is a tsunami!,Tsunami waves are larger and faster than normal surface waves. A tsunami wave can,travel as fast as a jet plane and can be as tall as a ten-story building. For a tsunami to occur.,there must be some kind of force that causes the ocean water to become displaced. Most,tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes. However, volcanoes, landslides, large,icebergs, and even meteorites are capable of causing one of these mighty waves. Tsunamis are,extremely powerful. Because tsunami waves are so strong, they can kill people, damage,property, and completely ruin an ecosystem in just one hour.,Scientists have no way of predicting when a tsunami will hit. However, if a powerful,enough earthquake occurs, scientists can issue a warning or a watch. A warning means that a,tsunami will very likely hit soon. A watch means that conditions are favourable for a tsunami.,When people are notified about a watch or a warning, they have more time to prepare. It is,best not to get caught unaware when a tsunami is on the way!,9. Why are the elephants acting strange?,A. They are not used to seeing fish.,B. They dislike wading into the ocean.,C. They can sense something out of the ordinary.,D. They see the ocean drawing back from the beaches.,10. What is this passage mostly about?,A. How to prepare for tsunamis.,B.
