Question

a fisher in coastal indonesia is considering moving inland due to tsunami risks. how might the development of early warning systems influence his decision? he would likely stay, because the new systems would guarantee that no damage would occur to his property or fishing equipment during a tsunami. he would likely move inland, because the risks of the natural disaster outweigh the economic reward, regardless of the early warning systems. he would likely stay, because the economic benefits from fishing far outweigh the tsunami risk, and the early warning system provides adequate protection. he would likely move inland, because early warning systems are not an effective adaptation to the risks of tsunamis.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Early warning systems reduce tsunami risks. If fishing's economic benefits outweigh remaining risks (due to the system), the fisher may stay. Option 1's "guarantee no damage" is unrealistic. Option 2 ignores the system's role. Option 4 wrongly claims the system is ineffective. Option 3 balances economic gain and risk reduction via the system.

Answer:

He would likely stay, because the economic benefits from fishing far outweigh the tsunami risk, and the early warning system provides adequate protection.
