What are two types of hazards that are associated with volcanoes?

Earthquakes and eruptions.


What 3 natural hazards threaten the US?

earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes


Which of these hazards out of earthquakes volcanoes mountains trenches and mudslides are at convergent boundaries?

Earthquakes and volcanoes are hazards typically associated with convergent boundaries where tectonic plates collide. Mountains can also form at convergent boundaries due to the collision of plates. Trenches are associated with subduction zones at convergent boundaries where one plate is forced beneath another. Mudslides are not directly related to convergent boundaries.


Which type of scientist stuides and natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes?

A geologist is the type of scientist who studies natural hazards such as volcanoes and earthquakes. They analyze the Earth's processes, structures, and materials to understand how these hazards occur and their potential impacts. Geologists may specialize further in fields like volcanology, which focuses specifically on volcanoes, or seismology, which studies earthquakes. Their research is crucial for risk assessment and disaster preparedness.


How do the plate boundaries cause or contribute to hazards?

Plate boundaries can cause hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. At convergent boundaries, where plates collide, the intense pressure can lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, can also cause earthquakes. Additionally, divergent boundaries, where plates move apart, can result in volcanic eruptions and earthquakes as magma rises to the surface.
