Which wave is classified as a mechanical wave?

• microwave

• infrared wave

• sound wave

• radio wave

An undersea earthquake centered 1000 miles off the coast of Hawaii creates a tsunami headed toward the Hawaiian coast. This tsunami encounters a fishing boat 500 miles from the coast. What will happen to the boat?

• The tsunami will pick up the boat at its current position and carry the boat on its crest all the way into the coast.

• The tsunami will carry the boat toward the coast for many miles, but because the boat is so large, the wave canot carry it all the way to shore.

• The boat will be lifted up as the wave passes beneath it, and then be pushed many miles from the coast.

• The boat will bob up and down as the wave passes beneath it, but the wave will not carry the boat either toward or away from shore.
