Explanation
A tsunami is a water (surface) wave: water particles move in orbits, going both up-and-down (transverse component) and back-and-forth along the direction of travel (longitudinal component). Hence it is treated as both transverse and longitudinal.सुनामी एक जल (सतही) तरंग है: जल के कण कक्षीय पथ में चलते हैं, जो ऊपर-नीचे (अनुप्रस्थ घटक) और तरंग की दिशा में आगे-पीछे (अनुदैर्ध्य घटक) दोनों होते हैं। अतः इसे अनुप्रस्थ और अनुदैर्ध्य दोनों माना जाता है।More People, Development and Environment questions
