An earthquake occurred three hundred miles off the shoreline, and massive flooding occurred on land as a result. Which best describes what occurred? Continental shifting resulted in a tsunami. Continental shifting resulted in a volcano erupting. Tidal activity in the subduction zone caused a tsunami. Tidal activity in the subduction zone caused a volcano to erupt.

If an earthquake offshore occured close enough to cause flooding, people would most likely call in a Tsunami to fall in to effect... I think your answer would be " Tidal activity in the subduction zone caused a tsunami"|dw:1459776634581:dw|

I think A is most correct. There is a tsunami, but activity in the tidal zone from so far away is not that impacting.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is correct!
