Why are some organisms able to survive an event that causes mass extinction

The movement of tectonic plates in two different locations is shown below: two blocks labeled location a and location b are shown. at location a the top layer of the block shows two horizontal arrows pointing towards each other. small dunes are shown in the middle between the two arrows. the block labeled b has a vertical line in the middle. on the left of the line there is an arrow pointing down. on the right of the vertical line there is an arrow pointing up which statement is most likely true? subduction may occur in both locations. earthquakes may occur in both locations. subduction may occur in location a only and a volcanic eruption may occur in location b only. an earthquake may occur in location a only and a volcanic eruption may occur in location b only.

Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar. the following chemical equation shows the combustion of ethane. balance the equation by filling in the coefficients. c2h6 + o2 → co2 + h2o
