Wind-generated ocean waves transfer energy across the water, but water particles themselves do not move forward significantly. 3. The speed of a tsunami decreases as it approaches shallow coastal waters due to increased bottom friction, while its wave height increases. 4. Unlike regular waves, tsunamis have extremely long wavelengths, which make them almost undetectable in deep oceans. Which of the statements given above are correct?
