Human activities that increase the risk of natural hazards includes urbanization and agricultural development

Step-by-step explanation:

For urbanization, more and more place is required so that houses that are built by people to settle and more roads are required for movement of people.

This leads to the cutting of trees and forests which disturbs the ecological balance resulting in natural hazards. The development of agriculture means more land is being used for agriculture purposes which means cutting down of trees again leading to natural hazards.
