The study of the relationships between various activity diagnostics in T Tauri stars (TTS) suggests that the CaII K, MgII k and H∝ lines are formed in a similar region of TTS' atmosphere. For the more active TTS, an extended circumstellar region seems to be the major source of the emission, whereas a solar-type atmosphere alone may be able to account for the emission spectrum of low-activity TTS.
