Answer:

Option (1), (2) and (3)

Explanation:

The subduction zones are created when a denser oceanic plate subducts under a lighter continental or oceanic plate. It forms at the convergent plate boundary. The point above this subduction zone where the depression forms is known as the oceanic trenches. This trenches extends up to a great depth. The subducting plates undergoes partial melting as a result of which the plate melts and the magma rises up towards the over-riding plate forming volcanoes or chain of volcano. This type of plate boundary generates deep focus earthquakes.  

Thus, the correct answer are option (1), (2) and (3).

Crank

Answer:

b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.

Explanation:

Many volcanic eruptions don't kill anyone. This is because most active volcanoes are well-known to local residents, who give them appropriate respect.

Lahars are deadly, but so are pyroclastic flows, and releases of ash and/or poison gases. The two deadliest eruptions in recorded history caused death by starvation and tsunami.

The point of the paragraph was that the VEI was <em>not</em> directly related to the number of deaths.

The difference between craters and calderas is in the formation mode of each of them. Craters generally are more circular and smaller, and result from the projection of gas and magma, while calderas arise from falling stones and rocks.</span>
