An area near a coastline has a lot of damage. Earth materials are cracked and moved from one place to another, and there are a lot of flooded areas and places with extreme erosion. What is the most likely reason for these changes?(1 point) Responses An active volcano caused the damage. An active volcano caused the damage. An earthquake caused all the damage. An earthquake caused all the damage. Both an earthquake and a tsunami caused the damage. Both an earthquake and a tsunami caused the damage. A tsunami caused all the damage.

Answer 1

The most likely reason for the changes described—where there is damage to earth materials, flooding, and extreme erosion near a coastline—is "Both an earthquake and a tsunami caused the damage."

An earthquake can lead to the generation of a tsunami, which could further exacerbate flooding and erosion in coastal areas. Therefore, the combination of both events is the most comprehensive explanation for the observed effects.
