Consider the waves in the image.
A photo shows the recording of seismic waves. Three vertical waves from left to right have irregular wave patterns with changing wavelength and amplitude. All three recordings are the same length horizontally but each one varies greatly vertically on the graph.
Which wave measure is changing by the greatest amount in the image?

Based on your description of the seismic waves, the measure that is changing by the greatest amount would likely be amplitude. This is indicated by the mention of irregular wave patterns with changing vertical measurements, which usually represent amplitude variations in the wave recordings.
So, the correct answer is:
amplitude
