VII/ Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True or False
TEXT A -WHAT IS A TSUNAMI
A tsunami is a string of large ocean waves. Some people call it a “wave train" or a "tidal wave." Tsunamis, unlike normal ocean waves, are not caused by tides. The word tsunami comes from the Japanese. Tsunamis are caused by a sudden, large motion on the ocean floor. They can be caused by an earthquake under the ocean. Sometimes an underwater landslide or volcano is the cause. When one of these tilings happens, the energy passes through the ocean water. Just like the ripples from a rock being thrown into a pond, the energy released by one of these motions spreads Olli in all directions.
The energy can travel many miles away. Tsunamis move at high speeds. Most tsunamis happen in the Pacific Ocean. In the deep walers, a tsunami may travel -150 miles per hour. Out in the ocean, a tsunami may be hard to see. As it comes close to shore, its speed slows down. The height of the wave builds. The tsunami may suddenly rise into a wave ten to one hundred feet high. These large waves are a disaster for coastal regions and people living there. Tsunami warning networks alert people living along coastlines in the Pacific Ocean. When a warning is sounded, people can move away from the coast to higher ground. The wavelength can be as long as 150 miles. This means the time (wave period) between the giant waves is long, too. Giant waves on shore call last for hours or even days alter the earthquake or other disturbance.
1. "Wave
train" or "tidal wave" is another term for tsunami.
2. Tsunamis
often come from Japan.
3. A tsunami
may be hard to see because it may travel 450 miles per hour.
4. Only people
living along coastlines in the Pacific Ocean are alerted with tsunami warning
networks.
5. Big waves on
shore can last very' long after the earthquake.

During the
first few days. I went swimming every morning in the warm sea and then, in the
afternoon, I walked up the side of the mountain behind the town. 1 didn't climb
over rocks or anything like that. I just walked slowly up a few hundred meters
on one of the old donkey tracks.
On the
afternoon of the fifth day. I was on the mountain w hen the ground started to
move. I remembered about the earthquakes then, and I thought, 'The ground will
open up and i'll fall ill.' Then I looked down al the town and saw a huge wave
coming very fast towards it. Houses near the beach disappeared under the water.
I was safe on the side of the mountain, but my hotel fell down and I lost all
my stuff.
