阅读短文,完成91—95题。
海啸是海底地壳突然起伏引起的海浪。只要海底发生断层位移,就会造成海水运动,产生一连串的海浪,并能以每小时800公里以上的速度横穿整个大洋。它在横扫海洋时还可以获得更大的威力,因此经常会在离[ ]非常远的地方造成灾难性的后果。
虽然海啸的威力很大,人们在海上却很难察觉到它们。香港天文台的负责人黄永德说:“如果你在船上航行,甚至可能都感觉不到海啸经过,只有当它接近海岸并到达浅水域时,才会变得汹涌。这时,波浪的高度可能是平常的十倍。”当海啸在海槽上形成时,只有几厘米或几米高,进入海岸线浅滩时,其速度会减慢,但高度会增加,冲到海岸时能高达30到50米。虽然山崩和火山爆发也可能导致海啸,但是发生海啸最普遍的原因是海底地震,尤其是像太平洋这样地壳板块运动剧烈的区域。
由于地震波在地球上的传播速度快于海潮在海上推进的速度,地震监测系统就可以在地震发生时,计算它的强度和位置,便于地震学家预告哪些地方可能遭到海啸。苏格兰地震学家戴维·布斯说,2004年年末在印度尼西亚附近发生的海啸没有任何征兆,以每小时500公里的速度袭击了印度洋周围地势偏低的地区,这就是为什么死亡人数众多的原因。他强调说,尽管海啸的运动速度非常快,但是“如果建立一个尖端的预警系统的话,就来得及发出警告”。
太平洋地区发生灾难性海啸的情况比较普遍,相关国家对预警系统价值的认识也比较到位。澳大利亚一个机构曾经提醒说,印度洋上缺少一个预警系统,但由于从历史上看,那里地震的破坏性不像太平洋沿岸地区那么严重,该地区各国在这一问题上缺乏合作,所以没有采取类似的国际预警措施。

下列对原文内容的理解,正确的一项是( )。

A.人们在海上难以事先察觉到海啸,因而目前对海啸的预警只能依靠地震监测系统来完成

B.地震监测系统通过监测地震波,就可以计算出海啸的强度和位置

C.太平洋区域地壳板块运动剧烈,是受海啸危害较为普遍的地区,因而相关国家普遍比较重视海啸的预警

D.印度洋周边地区在历史上没有发生破坏性的地震,周边地区国家的麻痹大意,酿成这次海啸的惨重灾难
