Evaluate this statement. "Victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami on December 26, 2004, might have been saved if they realized that an extremely low water level at the shore was the trough of a huge wave."
A) This statement is true.
B) This statement is false. Victims would not have had time to run before the wave hit.
C) This statement is false. Tsunamis have very long wavelengths but relatively short wave heights.
D) This statement is partially true. There is a low water level before a tsunami hits, but it is caused by the rolling movement of the wave, not a wave trough.
