Answer:

Punctuation.

Explanation:

The sentence is very confusing when first read due to lack of proper punctuation. We know earthquakes have two things because the writer says, "have both". However, a sequence of explanations and examples are put between those two things, without any punctuation to separate them, which makes it harder to understand. What are the two things earthquakes have? Natural cause and human-made causes. What are volcanoes, faults and landslides? Examples of natural causes. What are explosions, nuclear testing and tectonic plate subduction? Examples of human-made causes.

Now, let's add punctuation that will help make the information above clear:

  • Earthquakes have both natural causes, like volcanoes, faults and landslides, and human made causes, like mining explosions, nuclear testing and tectonic plate subduction.
  • Earthquakes have both natural causes - like volcanoes, faults and landslides - and human made causes - like mining explosions, nuclear testing and tectonic plate subduction.
  • Earthquakes have both natural causes (like volcanoes, faults and landslides) and human made causes (like mining explosions, nuclear testing and tectonic plate subduction).

What is an example of a contextual symbol explain
Jobisdone [24]
Contextual symbol is a word or object that stands for something else just in the story or situation.

For example . Do you know the sign with a skull and 2 bones crossed behind him) I think you do. . The skull and crossbones stand for poison. So, if you see the symbol( you can try typing it on google) on a box or bucket, please don’t eat what is inside of the container.
It's that simple... Hope it helped
