Read the following passage on transport, and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to

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 refer 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 amplitude, often no more than one or two meters. It is when they hit the shallow
water the coast that they increase in height, possibly up to 40 meters.
Tsunamis often occur in the Pacific because the Pacific is an area of heavy seismic activity. Two areas of the
Pacific well accustomed to the threat of tsunamis arc Japan and Hawaii. Because the seismic activity that causes
tsunamis in Japan often occurs on the ocean bottom quite close to the islands, the tsunamis that hit Japan often
comes with little warning and can therefore prove disastrous. Most of the tsunamis that hit the Hawaiian Islands,
however, originate thousands of miles away near the coast of Alaska, so these tsunamis have a much greater
distance to travel and the inhabitants of Hawaii generally have time for warning of their imminent arrival.
Tsunamis are certainly not limited to Japan and Hawaii. In 1755, Europe experienced a calamitous tsunami,
when movement along the fault lines near the Azores caused a massive tsunami to sweep onto the Portuguese coast
and flood the heavily populated area around Lisbon. The greatest tsunami on record occurred on the other side of
the world in 1883 when the Krakatoa volcano underwent a massive explosion, sending waves more than 30 meters
high onto nearby Indonesian islands; the tsunami from this volcano actually traveled around the world and was
witnessed as far away as the English Channel.
Question 49. The paragraph preceding this passage most probably discusses
A. tidal waves B. tides C. storm surges D. underwater
earthquakes
Question 50. According to the passage, all of the following are true about tidal waves EXCEPT that
A. they are the same as tsunamis
B. they're caused by sudden changes in high and low tides
C. this terminology is not used by the scientific community
D. they refer to the same phenomenon as seismic sea waves
