What is the relationship between earthquake and volcanoes |
| Answer» Most\xa0earthquakes\xa0directly beneath a\xa0volcano\xa0are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small\xa0earthquake.\xa0Earthquakes\xa0are not a geological structure like\xa0volcanoes\xa0and\xa0they\xa0do not release magma.\xa0They\xa0are violent movements of the Earth\'s crust. However, unlike\xa0volcanoes,\xa0earthquakes\xa0are common to all types of plate boundary.\xa0Earthquakes\xa0occur as a result of friction and build up of pressure between plates. | |
