Question

Why are the islands of south east and eastern Asia prone to
earthquakes and volcanoes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Every fault that experienced an earthquake in the past is likely to experience earthquakes in the future. ... In Southeast Asia, the plate boundary between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates (i.e. the Sunda Megathrust) is very likely to be hit by earthquakes (and tsunamis).

Explanation:

BECAUSE THEY ARE SITUATED UNDER TECTONIC PLATES

Why is Southeast Asia Prone to Disaster? Perhaps the main reason why Southeast Asia in particular is prone to such disasters is due to its location. The region sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a geologically and volcanically active area that stretches in a horseshoe-like basin across the Pacific.

Why does Asia have so many natural disasters?

Many Asia-Pacific nations share common characteristics, such as large, growing populations with a high proportion of people living in poverty. Poorer villages and farms near coastal regions often lack resources to build adequate sea defences, for example, leaving them exposed to monsoon rains and storms
