Answer:

Considering the example of Japan, it can be justified that both the primary and the secondary impacts of tectonic hazard cause the most damage.

Explanation:

  • Any tectonic activity of considerable magnitude generates tremors and causes earthquakes and related phenomenons.
  • Japan has consistently been subject to the secondary impacts of such tectonic hazards like earthquakes and tsunamis.
  • The areas close to the coasts of Japan are tectonically active making Japan vulnerable to its aftermaths.
  • Moreover, Japan also has some dormant volcanoes which are a result of tectonic activity.
