A
weathering and erosion can change the land
B
build up the land
C
destroy things, but they can also build up the land
D
break down the land
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Earthquakes can also change how groundwater flows which can direct the water to new places, causes new patterns of erosion and even forming new cave systems. Volcanoes change the Earth’s surface by adding new igneous rocks formed from cooling lava as well as a variety of ash and rock fragment debris.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanoes both build and destroy landscapes. Eruptions of lava, ash, volcanic bombs, blocks, and cinders form new land on oceanic islands, and build towering and inspiring snow-covered peaks. Volcanic eruptions are also destructive as they can blow apart those very same mountains.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earthquakes can cause damage by shaking, tsunami’s, and landslides. Volcanoes can cause damage by ash flows, release of gases, mudflows, lava flows, and landslides. Earthquakes may be associated with volcanic hazards, especially as a precursor to an eruption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Pyroclastic flows are capable of razing buildings and uprooting trees. Volcanic Ash Impacts Plumes of volcanic ash can spread over large areas of sky, turning daylight into complete darkness and drastically reducing visibility.
