VI. Reading: Read the passage, then circle the best answers:
Reading 1:
Tsunamis, whose name derives from the Japanese expression for “high wave
in a harbor”, are giant sea waves. These waves are quite different from storm surges.
They are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves although they have nothing
to do with tides. Scientists often refer to them as seismic sea waves, which is far more
appropriate because they are often the result of undersea seismic activity.
Tsunamis can be caused when the sea floor suddenly moved, during an underwater
earthquake or volcano, and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This
sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These waves can travel great distances,
at speeds close to 700 kilometres per hour. In the open ocean, tsunami waves are not
very high, often no more than one or two metres. It is when they hit the shallow waters
near the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 metres.

A. tidal waves B. tides C. tsunamis D. storm surges

A. they are as another name for tsunamis. B. they are caused by sudden changes in
high and low tides

A. cause severe damage in the middle of the ocean B. generally reach heights
greater than 40 metres
