Scientists monitor tsunamis using detection sensors in the Gulf of Mexico. Several sensor locations are shown on the map.​ Part ABased on the map of sensor locations, if a landslide in the Mississippi Canyon were to occur, which tsunami detection sensor location would likely provide the earliest warning of a tsunami for point X on the Louisiana coastline?  Asensor PBsensor QCsensor RDsensor S

Based on the information in Map 1 and Figure 1, which statement best describes why the flow of water out of the Mississippi River should be monitored over time to predict tsunamis in the Gulf of Mexico?AChanges in the water temperature at the outlet of the Mississippi River could trigger a tsunami once water enters the Gulf of Mexico.BSediment in the Mississippi River water could build up near the Mississippi Canyon ledge and trigger a landslide that causes a tsunami.CA reduction in the quality of the Mississippi 0 River water could trigger an earthquake that causes a tsunami.DLarge amounts of water flowing out of the 0 Mississippi River could trigger a tsunami once water enters the Gulf of Mexico.

Which statements describe evidence from the stimulus that best supports the answer to Part A?​​Select all that apply.​   ADetectors closest to the coastline and  detecting the largest waves will provide the earliest warning.BDetectors closest to the underwater energy event will provide the earliest warning.CDetectors closest to the entrance of the Gulf of Mexico and detecting changes in water levels will provide the earliest warning.DDetectors closest to the initial waves formed by an underwater event will provide the earliest warning.EDetectors closest to the waves with the shortest wavelengths will provide the earliest warning.

Three seismometers are spread around the Earth. After an earthquake, what might scientists use these to locate?Athe seismic wavesBthe focusCthe faultDthe epicenter

Tsunami is:  A. Earthquake on land mass  B. Volcanic eruption  C. Earthquake in ocean crust  D. Vibrations per minute
