Answer 1

Answer:

land slides are the most prone in mountainous regions

Answer 2

The answer is b) landslides.

Mountainous areas are more prone to landslides.

• Landslides refer to natural phenomena in which layers of land, rocks, and earth slide down the slopes. They mainly occur due to an imbalance in their structure and position. They can also be caused due to tremours from earthquakes.

• Mountainous areas are prone to this because they have unstable lands and slopes, which can lead to the sliding of the land.

• Cyclones and floods mainly occur near water bodies, and fire can be found in forests due to the friction between leaves.
