Answer 1

Ответ:

5) B: Landslides

6) B: States on the west coast

Answer 2

5) During severe flooding and thunderstorms, the following may occur:

- b: landslides: Heavy rainfall can saturate soil and cause landslides in hilly or mountainous areas.

6) Tsunamis are typically associated with oceanic disturbances, such as earthquakes or underwater volcanic eruptions. Therefore, the most likely area in the United States to experience a tsunami would be states on the west coast (b) as they are located along the Pacific Ocean, which is known for its tectonic activity and potential for tsunamis. However, it is important to note that tsunamis can occur in any coastal area near a large body of water, so states on the east coast may also experience a tsunami under certain rare circumstances. Therefore, the correct answer would be (d) both a and b.
