Hey guys,
'The reason why a tsunami is so dangerous is not only because you can get drowned, but also because it tumbles everything that stands in its way.
It overturns ships and it also drags remnants of houses, cars and broken palm trees with it. Tsunamis are usually generated by an earthquake, which is caused by a movement of tectonic plates. '

Are these sentences correct? Apart from that, I have a question about an anonymous post. I actually posted one question anonymously and I'd like to know how long it takes to get an answer. I heard somewhere that if the post is anonymous, the answer might be a bit delayed.

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you for replying so soon. I just realized that 'drown' can't be used in the passive voice.

Should I then post it again using my account or wait a bit longer?
