Answer:

By correct territorial planning including natural hazards prevention and international accords regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

Explanation:

Natural hazards cant be controlled, we cannot know for sure when an earthquake will occur and an eruption cannot be stopped, but there are still things societies can do to prepare and increase the resilience towards this kind of riks.

Trough territorial planning (if done correctly) societies can prepare well, for example, a city located at a high-risk zone of volcano eruption can set an alarm system to alert citizens to when it would be safe to leave the area. A seismic center can be installed to study the tectonic activity and establish high-risk zones.

Regarding climate change, there needs to be an integration of the different countries to the international accords toward climate change so that natural hazards can be mitigated no only locally but globally.

If done correctly estates can receive the impact of a natural hazard and still function correctly. Making high amounts of preparations and funding natural risk mitigation is justified if we look back at past catastrophes such as Katrina Hurricane or Haiti Earthquake and quantify the damage done.

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's

SIZIF [17.4K]

The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
