Only statement 3rd is incorrect. Recently Tsunami waves hit several parts of Japan’s coastal areas and urgent evacuation warnings were issued after a 7.6-magnitude earthquake shook the country’s north-central region.
Tsunami is a Japanese word that means “harbour wave” is a series of giant ocean waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the ocean.
When an earthquake takes place under the ocean, a large chunk of the ocean floor can suddenly move upward or downward, leading to a sudden displacement of a large volume of water, thereby causing tsunami waves.
Big tsunamis usually begin in the deep ocean, where a large volume of water can be displaced.
Not all earthquakes or volcanic eruptions lead to tsunamis.
The formation of a tsunami can depend on a host of factors, including the shape of the ocean floor and the earthquake’s distance and direction.
The Indian Tsunami Early Warning Centre (ITEWC) – Is the national authority to issue tsunami advisories for India.
It works under the aegis of Ministry of Earth Sciences.
It is established at Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Sciences (INCOIS), Hyderabad.
Hence option 1st is correct.
