Question 1
Suppose two earthquakes struck the same subduction zone just 3 months apart. One earthquake (Earthquake A) displaces about 300,000,000 km2 (100,000 mi2) of seafloor. The other earthquake (Earthquake B) displaces about 50,000 km2 (20,000 mi2).
Based only on this data, which of the two do you think produced the bigger tsunami? (Choose the best answer.)
The correct answer is A.
