Part A: Based on both charts, which statement best describes the relationship between volcanic eruptions in Region A and seismic activity in Region B over the five-year period?

• Both regions experienced an increase in disaster events, suggesting a potential correlation between volcanic and seismic activity.

• Region A had a consistent number of eruptions, while Region B showed significant fluctuations in earthquake magnitude

• The increase in volcanic eruptions in Region A indicates that Region B is experiencing more earthquakes as well

• Region B's earthquake magnitudes consistently increased, while Region A's eruptions decreased overall.

Part B: Considering the trends in both charts, what conclusion can be drawn about the overall impact of these natural disasters on the regions?

• Region A's eruptions have a larger average ash fall area, indicating a more significant impact than earthquakes in Region B.

• The increasing number of earthquakes in Region B suggests a greater risk to the population than volcanic eruptions in Region A.

• Both regions show a need for improved disaster preparedness due to increasing trends in natural disasters.

• .The average magnitude of earthquakes has no relation to the number of volcanic eruptions in Region A.

Based on the data from both charts, which statement best describes the trends in landslides and their relationship with rainfall in these regions?

• Both regions show an increase in landslides corresponding with higher average rainfall, indicating a direct relationship.

• Region A has fewer landslides overall compared to Region B, despite higher rainfall.

• Landslides in Region B are primarily caused by erosion, while Region A is mostly affected by heavy rainfall

• The number of landslides decreased in Region A due to improved land management practices.
