Answer
Tectonic plates are parts of the earth's crust. There are cracks in these plates that allow magma to seep through and build-up which creates volcanic eruptions. Volcanos themselves are created by the earth's plates pushing against each other and slowly, over time, rising to create these large raises in the crust. Earthquakes are caused by these plates creating friction against one another until they forcefully overlap or rip apart, hence the shaking effect during an earthquake.
We have to solve this question using the stoichiometry of the reaction:
The equation of the reaction is;

According to the question;
Number of moles of CO2 released = 21.3 g/44 g/mol = 0.48 moles
From the stoichiometry of the reaction:
Since;
24 moles of CO2 released 15,026 KJ
0.48 moles of CO2 will release 0.48 * 15,026/24
= 301 KJ of heat.
