Answer: Proximity to active volcanoes

Explanation:

When volcanoes erupt, they can generate tsunamis in the following ways:

-Parts of the volcano (some of them may be underwater) could collapse, generating a big displacement of water and resulting in a tsunami.

-The magma chamber could also collapse as it empties, also generating water displacement.

-If the volcanoes are near to the shore, debris resulting from the eruption could hit the water at fast speeds, producing big waves and eventually a tsunami.

In this case, the proximity of Palu city to active volcanoes, especially ones that are so close to the shore, increases the risk of a tsunami.

A neutral copper block is polarized as shown in the figure below, due to an electric field made by external charges (notshown).
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is j.

Explanation:

Consider the figure attached below. The net electric field at location B,that is inside the copper block is zero because when a conductor is charged or placed in an electric field of  external charges, net charge lies on the surface of conductor and there is no electric field inside the conductor. As point B is located inside the copper block so net electric field at point B is zero as well direction of net electric field at point B is zero.
