Question

Why are volcanoes and earthquakes often located in the same area

Answer 1

[|] Answer [|]

$\boxed{The \ Volcano \ causes \ the \ Earthquake}$

[|] Explanation [|]

       When a Volcano erupts, the tectonic plates beneath start to move and slide. This is what causes the Earthquake.

The Earthquake is not **Directly** caused by the moving magma (A.K.A. Lava.) The Magma does play a part in it, but the magma itself does not cause the Earthquake.

Here is what happens:

       The Magma starts to shove upward and out the top. When doing this, the pressure starts to push and thrust itself out, causing the tectonic plates below to crack, split and move around. When doing this, this causes the Earth to split, causing Earthquakes.
