Which of these would best help a reader understand why a tsunami forms?

Question

a.
Seismograph charts from documented tsunami’s.
c.
both a and b
b.
A Venn diagram comparing the characteristics between a tsunami and a tornado
d.
neither a nor b

Answer 1

The best option to help a reader understand why a tsunami forms would be:

a. Seismograph charts from documented tsunamis.

Seismograph charts provide direct evidence of the seismic activity and underwater earthquakes that typically trigger tsunamis. While a Venn diagram comparing a tsunami and a tornado (option b) has its merits, it would not specifically explain the formation of tsunamis. Therefore, option c (both a and b) is not the best answer either.

Thus, the correct answer is a. Seismograph charts from documented tsunamis.
