Firstly, let understand that the labelled trench means what is created where one tectonic plate move apart from another tectonic plate while the active fault means the crack in the upper layer of the Earth's crust.

The type of hazard depicted in the map is Earthquake hazard because its features tectonic movement ,trench and fault lines.The hazard that are related to earthquake includes building and road collapse, Landslid, Tsunamis etcIt is very unsafe because the tectonic activities/seismic activity in the area is high. Even, if the best road, building bridges are constructed, a single earthquake could destroy everything. Therefore, it is very unsafe to live in the highlighted area.The Hazard map is very important because it let people be aware of active and high seismic activity in the area.

1. What type of hazard map is shown above ?

The type of hazard shown in the map is earthquakes.

2. What are the types of hazards that you might experience ?

Earthquakes and their associated hazards like landslide, or tsunamis.

3. Do you think it's safe to live in the highlighted areas ? Why ?

A place with high-seismic activity is not as safe as a place with none, however, it can becom safer if building codes are strict and enforced, because the biggest danger in an Earthquake event is the deaths caused by the collapse of human-built structures like bridges, tunnels, houses, buildings, dams, etc.

4. What is the importance of using hazard maps ?

Hazard maps are extremely important because they help authorities determine what actions are needed to mitigate risk, and where they are needed. They also help establish those places where the risk is too much for humans.
