What are some natural hazards caused by subduction?

Subduction zones can lead to several natural hazards, primarily earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. As one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, it generates significant seismic activity, often resulting in powerful earthquakes. Additionally, the melting of subducted material can create magma that rises to the surface, leading to the formation of volcanoes. These hazards pose risks to nearby communities and can trigger secondary effects like tsunamis.
