Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

" Coastal urbanization does not increase the risk to human communities from which of the following natural disasters?

a. earthquakes b. floods c. hurricanes d. cyclones"

Answer:

a. earthquakes

Step-by-step explanation:

The coastal zone or coastal strip corresponds to the transition zone between the continental and marine domains. In other words, it is a region surrounded by water and that may have some problems with the population increase in these areas. The first problem that can happen is the occurrence of floods, mainly in the rainy season. Hurricanes and cyclones can also have a strong impact on the region.

On the other hand, a coastal zone does not usually have earthquakes, which are abrupt and intense tremors that occur on the earth's surface thanks to geological phenomena that occur in the lithosphere.
