Read the following passage and choose the answer to each of the questions
 Quite different from storm surges are the giant sea waves called tsunamis, which derive their name from the Japanese 
expression for “high water in a harbor.” These waves are also referred to by the general public as tidal waves, although they 
have relatively little to do with tides. Scientists often referred to them as seismic sea waves, far more appropriate in that they 
do result from undersea seismic activity.
 Tsunamis are caused when the sea bottom suddenly moves, during an underwater earthquake or volcano for example, 
and the water above the moving earth is suddenly displaced. This sudden shift of water sets off a series of waves. These 
waves can travel great distances at speeds close to 700 kilometers per hour. In the open ocean, tsunamis have little noticeable compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world. Current advocates would 
like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen.
