When do volcanic earthquakes occur?
An earthquake can be caused in two different ways, there is a volcanic earthquake and a tectonic earthquake. Tectonics earthquakes are much more common than volcanic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes are when magma, or molten rock, moves underground. This can cause earthquake directly in what is called a harmonic tremor, or indirectly by breaking and shifting rock. A tectonic earthquake is when stress built up by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is released in the form of shaking.
What is the shaking and trembling of Earth crust called?

What are the large thin plates that move relative to one another on the outer surface of earth called?
They are called tectonic or lithospheric plates.
What is a volcanic and tectonic?
Type your answer ... The crust of our planet is cracked into seven large and many other smaller slabs of rock called plates, averaging about 50 miles thick. As they move (only inches per year), and depending on the direction of that movement, they collide, forming deep ocean trenches, mountains, volcanoes, and generating earthquakes.
The lithosphere is broken up into sections called?
Tectonic plates

How does a valcano occur?
the tectonic plates shift, then the earth starts shaking. the magma/lava inside the volcano builds up and forces through the top. then when it is flowing down its called LAVA.
