Answer 2

Explanation:

2.A tsunami is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.

3.The term salinity refers to the amount of dissolved salts that are present in water.

4.the three forms of water are- solid, liquid,gas.

5.The water cycle , also known as the hydrologic cycle,

6.Warm ocean currents are less dense than the cold ocean currents because the warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. Due to high temperature, moisture content in the air becomes very less making the warm currents rise the temperature over land surface.

7.Tides are periodic rise and fall of large masses of water. They are caused by the gravitational interaction that exists between the Earth and the Moon. On the other hand, waves are caused by the winds blowing on the surface of the ocean or even lakes. ... Tides are formed depending on the behavior of the moon and the sun
