Location on a single tectonic plate in which means natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes do not occur. eg; Australia

How does the location of japan lead to natural disasters in the country?
Japan is located in a "Volcanic" Zone. Most of its islands are on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is an arc shaped region across the pacific. A lot of natural disasters occur due to the constantly moving plates under the region. (Plate Tectonics). Most notably, earthquakes, volcanic activity and tsunamis caused by earthquakes.
What are two disasters in japan over centuries?
that it is located on a destructive plate boundary and chances of earthquakes, tsunamis occur. The islands also lie on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean, well within the typhoon (hurricane) zone.
