Tsunamis are often the result of underwater earthquakes. A tsunami can produce waves of up to 20 meters in height when they reach the shore, causing immense damage. Which of the following is a consequence of these catastrophic events?

Replenishment of the area’s water table

Loss of biodiversity as habitats are destroyed

Greater financial gain by the fishing industry

Secondary earthquakes that cause further destruction

Respuesta :

The answer is that there will be a loss of biodiversity as habitats are destroyed. An example are the Galapagos finches that live on the Galapagos islands. Due to frequent natural disasters, the one class of that type of bird got divided into several groups on separate islands. As a result, many of those mammals died, leaving a select few to be able to mate and pass their genes, making the gene pool smaller.

Loss of biodiversity as habitats are destroyed is a consequence of these

catastrophic events.

What  is a Tsunami?

This is a wave that occurs in a body of water which results in its

displacement.  The body of water is usually large such as as oceans or a

large lake.

The displacement of the water bodies therefore leads to the death of

organisms and reduces the biodiversity in that particular area.
