Why is it important to remove ash-collecting structures like awnings and avoid using plastic roofs during a volcanic eruption?
Volcanic ash may cause fire if it falls on awnings and plastic roofs

Volcanic ash are made up of soft ashes which can be swept away easily by wind when it falls on structures like awnings
Removing such items is not actually a good measure as plastic roof will hold off volcanic ashes easily
Why does underground mining sometimes cause earthquakes?
removal of large rocks leaves empty spaces that weakens structural support of earth
The large machines which bangs the underground may cause vibration which then causes earthquake
Underground mining causes landslide which then can cause earthquake
all of the above
Why does deforestation increase the risk of landslides?
Deforestation cause more rainfall which then causes landslide
Deforestation causes weathering of rocks around the area which then causes landslide
Deforestation causes the soil to become loose and unstable, making it more likely to slide during heavy rainfall.
Deforestation causes tectonic plate movement and volcanic activity which then causes landslide
Which safety measure is most important for landslide-prone areas?
Installing smoke detectors
Proper drainage systems
Building wire fences
