What causes earthquakes and volcaneos?
Earthquakes are caused by Earth's Tectonic movements.. Volcano is caused by the movement of molten lava inside Earth..
What plate tectonic is chaiten volcano on?
It erupted because two tectonic plates met which causes an eruption !!!
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
How either an earthquake or volcanic eruption occurs?
Earthquakes occur when two plates of the Earth's crust collide. The collision creates a seismic wave, shaking the earth for miles around the collision. Volcanic eruptions occur when the pressure becomes too great inside the volcano, forcing the magma up through the vents and the main opening in the volcano.
What tectonic plate movement causes volcanoes to form?
Volcanoes form where plates are moving away from each other and new crust is being formed. That is the traditional answer although research has recently been published that shows there are 'hot spots' places where magma will plume in the middle of a tectonic plate, these hot spots also create volcanoes. An example of this type of hot spot volcano would be the active volcano in the Hawaii Island chain or the volcano under Yellowstone.

What causes the earthquakes at the base of a volcano shortly before it erupts?
Tectonic plates.
What plate tectonic is chaiten volcano on?

Are tectonic plates made of crust and upper mantle?
No they are broken pieces of the earth which are what causes hurricanes, volcano explosions...etc.
What makes an earthquake to create a volcano that make it erupt?
the moving of the tectonic plates which makes the earths surface unstable which then causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
Not set in motion from ring of fire for example volcano and earthquake - volcano and earthquake are sub-cause by ring of fire and what causes ring of fire?
Nothing causes the ring of fire it is just a nick name for the area because volcano's and earthquakes have magma and lava involved.

What is tectonic earthquake means?
It is the unsual movement of tectonic plates which causes tectonic earthquakes.
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
the movement of tectonic plates
Collision of a continental and oceanic plate causes this in the plates?
compression
What tectonic plate movement causes volcanoes to form?

How does a volcano erupt and what causes it to erupt?
When a destructive boundary of two tectonic plates occurs the oceanic crust sinks underneath the continental crust as it is more dense, the oceanic crust then melts in the subduction zone and becomes magma in the mantle, this increases the pressure in the mantle and causes the magma to shoot up the volcano shaft and burst out of the top, this is an eruption
