Concept explainers
The explanation whether the water that reaches a remote island the same water that was above the earthquake on the ocean floor.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Waves transfer energy from one point to another point.
The energy released by an earthquake on the ocean floor produces tsunami.
The water wave transports the energy which is released from the center of earthquake to the island. It does not transfer the same water because it does not transfer the matter it transfers the energy.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the water that reaches a remote island is not the same water that was above the earthquake on the ocean floor.
