Question

Many people live in dense, dirty areas where narrow, shallow rivers are located. There is a potential risk of flooding, which might be caused by both humans and nature. Human bad habits are some of the main causes of flooding. People throw garbage and trash in the river. The flow is blocked and consequently, the water spills onto the land.

In addition, natural phenomena may result in dangerous floods. Naturally, floods happen when rain is extremely heavy, over an unusually long period of time. In some cases, areas that experience a great deal of snow in winter are prone to springtime flooding when the snow and ice melt, especially if the thaw is relatively sudden. Rainfall and melted snow can sometimes combine to cause floods.

A unique combination of factors sometimes also causes floods. For instance, whenever the ocean is at high tide, a low-lying coastal area is at risk of flooding. Exceptionally high tides may be attributed to storms, caused by a combination of factors, like low barometric pressure and high winds.

Finally, floods can occur regardless of the climate. Eamples are volcanic heating and rapid melting of a snow pack atop a volcanic mountain or under a glacier, or even failures of natural or man-made dams, and tsunamis, seismic waves on the sea or large lakes that are caused by earthquakes.

"Seismic waves on the sea or large lakes that are caused by earthquakes" is the definition of . . ..
A. flood 
B. tsunami 
C. weather
D. heavy rain
E. earthquake
