GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An earthquake can also create a volcanic eruption that would for sure lead to the formation of new mountains when the magma cools off. In the same way, they shake the rocks and tectonic plates under the ground causing landslides and destruction of the mountains that exist.

Detailed explanation-2: -The plates rip apart at divergent plate boundaries, crash together at convergent plate boundaries, and slide past each other at transform plate boundaries. Tectonic activity such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the formation of mountain ranges commonly occurs along the boundaries of the moving plates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanic mountains form when molten rock from deep inside the Earth erupts through the crust and piles up on itself. The islands of Hawaii were formed by undersea volcanoes, and the islands seen above water today are the remaining volcano tops.

Detailed explanation-4: -The effects of earthquakes and volcanoes are typically classified as being either primary or secondary. Primary effects are the direct result of an earthquake or volcanic eruption, such as buildings collapsing due to the movement of the earth or loss of life from pyroclastic flows.

Detailed explanation-5: -Two types of volcanically generated earthquakes are volcano-tectonic (VTs) earthquakes and long period earthquakes (LPs). Please visit our volcano seismicity pages to learn about volcanic activity near our Cascade Volcanoes. Volcanic-tectonic earthquakes (VTs) are, simply put, caused by slip on a fault near a volcano.
