c. tsunamis
d. avalanches
use the image below to answer question 3.

a. mountainous west
b. caribbean
c. canadian shield
d. great plains

Explanation:

For Question 2: The right map shows western North America lies on the boundary of the North American Plate and Pacific Plate. Tectonic plate boundaries are prone to earthquakes. Tornadoes are common in the central U.S., tsunamis are ocean-based secondary hazards here, and avalanches are limited to mountainous sub-regions, not the whole western region.
For Question 3: The image shows grassland terrain with a bison, which is a key indicator of the Great Plains, a vast grassland region of North America. The Mountainous West has prominent mountains, the Caribbean is tropical, and the Canadian Shield is rocky, forested, and lacks this grassland-bison ecosystem.

Answer:

Question 2: A. Earthquakes
Question 3: D. Great Plains
