There are different geological features in those places.

For example, the reason why earthquakes happen so much in Japan, is because of the fault line, where two plates meet. If those two plates slide with each other, they cause earthquakes. Earthquakes then can cause tsunamis. Volcanoes also are commonly found at plate boundaries, because of all the magma activity in those areas.

Another example is with the tornadoes and the midwestern US, otherwise known as Tornado Alley. Tornadoes form when cold, dry air and warm, moist air hit. There are many tornadoes in Tornado Alley because Canada brings cold, dry air and the Gulf of Mexico, warm moist air.

Last example: Hurricanes normally form around the equator, over oceans, because they run on warm water. This is why they often hit the south east of the US and the areas around there. They slowly die off when heading to colder areas, (heading more north or more south). They also die off when heading to areas over land, because they don't have that warm water as fuel.

I'd say location. Think about it, does a flood occur in the desert? No!

Also, geological features such as plate boundaries. Lava comes out of a volcano that can ONLY form at a convergent boundary. And yes, hurricanes supply on water(warm water) not land and not quite cold water.

The correct answer is social approval

Explanation:  Social approval is perhaps for many, even more significant because it expresses a sense of respect for the individual, for the other, for differences. “The other” may not even love me, since it is natural that we do not feel connected by everyone, however, I deserve to be accepted, for my simple existence, with all my qualities and imperfections, like any other human being.

Explanation:

The citadel is a term that indicates the strongest fortified, usually the central part of a fort, a stronghold. A space located inside the city, yet separated. The term was derived from the Italian citadel in the early modern age, meaning "small town".

The citadel was often located inside or on the outskirts of the city and most often formed the last core of defense in a single fortress. Citadels from the early modern century, as a rule, had a regular polygon in the floor plan.
