Question

Which of the following is the correctly compares the result of volcanic activity and crustal deformation?

Answer 1

The answer is a Volcanic activity only causes the earth’s surface to rise and crustal deformation causes it to rise and fall. Volcanic activity involves the ejection of lava from deep in their earth’s mantle to the surface hence causing a geographical elevation in the site of activity. Crustal deformation, on the other hand, involves forces of the tectonic plates such as compression that results to folds, faults.
