Which of the following can lead to a tsunami?
A.
Sunspot activity
B.
Lightning strikes.
C.
Earthquakes
D.
Flooding.
C. Earthquakes can lead to a tsunami.
Explanation:
- Earthquakes that occur under the ocean or near coastal areas can displace a large amount of water, causing waves to travel outward from the epicenter. If the earthquake is strong enough, it can create a tsunami, which is a series of large ocean waves.
A. Sunspot activity: Sunspots affect solar radiation and space weather but do not cause tsunamis.
B. Lightning strikes: Lightning strikes can cause localized disturbances in the water but do not generate tsunamis.
D. Flooding: While flooding can be caused by tsunamis or heavy rainfall, it does not lead to the formation of tsunamis.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Earthquakes.
