Question
Venn diagrams are used for comparing and contrasting topics. The overlapping sections show characteristics that the topics have in common, and the sections that are unique to each topic show the characteristics that apply to only that topic. This Venn diagram is comparing mechanical and electromagnetic waves.
2 circles with an overlap. The left circled is labeled Mechanical Wave with further labels Carry Energy Through Matter and Examples: Ocean Waves and Sound Waves. The right circle is labeled Electromagnetic Wave with further labels Carry Energy Through Space and Examples: Light and X-ray.
What could be put into the center section of this Venn diagram?
“Carry energy through space” and “Follow a pattern”
“Carry energy” and “Follow a pattern”
“Carry energy through space” and “Can be heard”
“Carry energy” and “Can be heard”

The center section of the Venn diagram, which represents characteristics common to both mechanical and electromagnetic waves, would be best filled with:
**“Carry energy” and “Follow a pattern.”**
This is because both types of waves transmit energy, and they both exhibit characteristic patterns (such as wavelength and frequency) in their waveforms. The other options include specific characteristics that apply only to one type of wave or the other, making them unsuitable for the overlapping section.
**“Carry energy” and “Follow a pattern.”**
