The correct answer is D) All of the above are true of both earthquakes and volcanoes.

What is true of both earthquakes and volcanoes is that they are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, they are potentially devastating to local environments, and they occur inland less frequently than along coasts.

Let's punt the example of an earthquake. Many spots on earth are prone to earthquakes and major risks for people living in these regions. An earthquake is a major shaking on the surface of the earth. The outmost layer moves, provoking the shaking. The tectonic plates are in constant movement and shifting causing stress that leads to faults, or cracks.


All of the above are true of both earthquakes and volcanoes.


Further Explanation:

The majority of the earthquakes and volcanoes take place due to the movement in tectonic plates and generally they take place when tectonic plates interact with each other on the boundaries. If we talk about the diverging boundaries, most of the earthquakes take place because of the pull which these tectonic plates create and the volcanoes form with the rise of magma which builds due to the gap between the two tectonic plates. At first, the volcanoes and earthquakes are formed where one tectonic plate sinks under the other majority and this process is known as subduction and this phenomenon occurs because of the reason that one tectonic plate is denser than the other. Majority of earthquakes occur just below the volcanoes and volcanoes take place because of the movements of magma
