a. earthquakes
Earthquakes are caused by tectonic processes and are not made more likely by coastal urbanization; by contrast, urban development on coasts increases exposure and vulnerability to floods, hurricanes, and cyclones (storm surge, loss of wetlands, impermeable surfaces, higher population density).
