d.

- a: Earthquakes result from sudden movement along faults; most volcanoes form at plate boundaries (subduction zones, rifts) or where plates move over mantle plumes.
- b: Both can cause large loss of life, property damage, ash, fires, landslides, and long-term environmental impacts.
- c: Both are concentrated along plate boundaries, many of which run near coasts (e.g., the Pacific Ring of Fire), so they are less common far inland.
