Answer: The reason this states have so many earthquakes is the fact of where they are located in the region of these states the earth surface has relatively thin crust and has high heat flow, both of which can favor relatively high deformation rates and active faulting. Unlike the opposite side of the states which has a colder much thicker crust which causes less fault formation and deformation of the crust.
Answer:
Urbanization: this is the process by which the population or urban areas increases, usually because people move out to the cities form rural areas.
Metropolitan area: an admnistrative divison consisting in a city, and its sorrounding areas.
Suburb: the area sorrounding a city that has a lower population density than the urban core, but a higher population density than a rural area.
The relationship between these three variables is very close. Urbanization is what drives the growth of both urban cores and suburbs, and a metropolitan area emerges when a city and its suburbs grow enough that they require a new special administrative division in order to coordinate local policies.

Answer:
loss of volatiles to the atmosphere
Explanation:
volatiles are the group of chemical elements and chemical compounds with low boiling points that are associated with a planet's or moon's crust or atmosphere. Examples include nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, etc.
Volatiles were accreted throughout the Earth’s formation, but Earth’s early accretion history was volatile poor.
