Use the statements to answer the question. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides can all cause tsunamis. Tsunamis can occur both near the shore and in the open ocean. Which correctly identifies whether the statements are true or false? (1 point) Responses Both statements 1 and 2 are true. Both statements 1 and 2 are true. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true. Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true. Both statements 1 and 2 are false. Both statements 1 and 2 are false. Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is false.
Both statements 1 and 2 are true.
The correct answer is: Statement 1 is true, and statement 2 is true.
To determine the correct answer, we need to evaluate each statement separately.
Statement 1: "Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides can all cause tsunamis." This statement is true. Earthquakes can generate tsunamis when they occur under the ocean. Volcanic eruptions can also cause tsunamis if they generate powerful explosive blasts or landslides that enter the water. Landslides can trigger tsunamis when they occur in bodies of water, such as lakes or coastal areas.
Statement 2: "Tsunamis can occur both near the shore and in the open ocean." This statement is also true. Tsunamis can originate near the shore due to underwater earthquakes or landslides. They can also develop in the open ocean and travel across vast distances before reaching the shore.
Therefore, both statements 1 and 2 are true.
