Question

subduction zones are most commonly associated with which type of natural disaster?

tornadoes

wildfires

hurricanes

tsunamis

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Subduction zones occur where one tectonic plate is forced under another. This process can cause earthquakes. Large - scale underwater earthquakes are a major cause of tsunamis. Tornadoes are caused by atmospheric conditions (rotating updrafts in thunderstorms). Wildfires are usually ignited by human activity or lightning (in dry, flammable environments). Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters due to atmospheric instability and Coriolis force.

Answer:

Tsunamis
