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. Tsunamis have very long wavelengths but relatively short wave heights.
