Because of the advances in technology, experts can now figure out approximately when an earthquake is going to happen, but not with enough anticipation to be able to do anything about it.

Volcanoes occur when molten rock, called magma, rises to the surface due to pressure buildup beneath the Earth's crust. This can happen due to tectonic activity along plate boundaries or hotspots in the Earth's mantle. Volcanic eruptions can be explosive or effusive, depending on the composition of the magma and the type of volcano.
