12.

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?

a)

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

b)

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.

c)

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

d)

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.
