To answer this question, we need to understand the primary ways in which earthquakes and tsunamis can cause destruction.
Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust. This can result in the opening up of large cracks or faults in the Earth's crust. These cracks can extend for long distances and can cause significant damage by breaking apart buildings, roadways, and infrastructure.
On the other hand, tsunamis are often caused by large undersea earthquakes. These earthquakes can result in the sudden movement of large blocks of land, either upward or downward. This movement can displace vast amounts of water, leading to the formation of a tsunami wave. When this wave reaches the shoreline, it can cause widespread destruction by flooding coastal areas and eroding beaches.
Therefore, the correct response is:
earthquakes: open up large cracks in Earth’s crust
tsunamis: move blocks of land up or down
