  1. “Tsunami” is the name given to which of the following?
    1. Earthquake
    2. Cyclone
    3. Tidal Waves
    4. Undersea Waves
Correct Option: D

A tsunami or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Unlike normal ocean waves which are generated by wind, or tides which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.
