What is the theory that explains volcano eruptions and earthquakes?

Answer 1

Volcanic eruptions don't cause earthquakes but they generally happen at the same time. For example at a destructive plate boundary when an oceanic plate is sub ducted beneath a continental plate , the friction causes an earthquake. As the plate heats up and the mantle's convection current pushes the magma up towards the crust, the magma explodes through the crust as a volcano .

Answer 2

One of the first theories was made by Thales of Miletus who live around 600BC. He attempted to explain earthquakes by hypothesizing that the Earth floats on water, and that earthquakes occur when the Earth is rocked by waves.

Answer 3

The cause of an earthquake is where the center of the earth over heats and the earth plates start to move!

Answer 4

What causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is plate moment because plates move and it causes a earthquake and also plates cause eruptions of volcanoes
