The correct response is: earthquakes: landslides tsunamis: move blocks of land up or down.
The correct answer is earthquakes: landslides and tsunamis: move blocks of land up or down.
To determine the correct response, we need to understand how earthquakes and tsunamis can cause destruction. Earthquakes often trigger landslides, which occur when the shaking of the ground causes loose soil and rocks to slide down slopes, potentially damaging structures, blocking roads, and leading to fatalities. On the other hand, tsunamis, which are typically caused by underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, can move blocks of land up or down due to the displacement of water. This movement can result in widespread destruction and flooding along coastal areas.
Therefore, the correct response is earthquakes: landslides and tsunamis: move blocks of land up or down.
