Detailed explanation-1: -Tectonic processes and flow in Earth’s interior drive deformation of Earth’s surface that can lead to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hazards associated with earth processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, avalanches, rock slides and rock falls, soil creep, subsidence, floods, frost heave, coastal hazards).
Detailed explanation-3: -A geologic hazard is an adverse geologic condition capable of causing damage or loss of property or life. These geologic processes only become hazards when humans get in their way; if there were no people affected, we would find these natural phenomena interesting, but not concerning.
Detailed explanation-4: -Wind erosion occurs when wind is responsible for land removal, movement, and deposition and most commonly occurs in exposed areas such as fields, tailings, and deserts.
