They form from the accumulation, burial, and lithification (compacting and cementing) of mineral particles or organic matter. Example: Sandstone or Limestone.

They ensure people know how to react instantly and safely (e.g., "drop, Cover, and Hold on"), which reduces panic and saves lives.

They form when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure without melting, changing their structure. Example: Marble or Slate.

(b) formed from compressed sediments.

Implementing and enforcing strict seismic building codes and earthquake-resistant engineering.

Two plates move toward each other. A common landform is a mountain range (like the Himalayas) or a volcanic island arc.

Mining is the extraction of minerals from the Earth. Societies mine for energy resources (coal) and raw materials for technology and construction.

A) Constructive (Divergent).

Plates get "locked" together due to friction; when the built-up stress exceeds the friction, they slip suddenly, releasing energy as an earthquake.

Creating hazard maps/evacuation plans and building barriers or channels to redirect lava flows.

True.
