Compare and contrast the location of the following regions. Which statement best identifies a region where tsunamis are possible?

Answer 1

To properly compare and contrast the locations of the regions, it is necessary to know which specific regions are being referred to. Without this information, it is not possible to provide an accurate comparison. However, regarding the latter part of the question, tsunamis are more likely to occur in coastal regions situated along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly where subduction is happening. Some examples of regions where tsunamis are frequent include the Pacific Ring of Fire, which encompasses the coasts of the Pacific Ocean, and regions around the Indian Ocean, such as Indonesia and Japan, where tectonic activity and subduction occur. Tsunamis can also occur in regions close to major underwater earthquakes or volcanic activity.
