convection currents. Causes the magma to move the earths crust creating plate movement.
The heat in the Earth's core makes the magma more liquid and allows the movement of the crustal plates.
When magma rises towards the Earth's surface, it creates pressure on the surrounding rocks. As the pressure builds up, the rocks fracture and break, causing seismic tremors or earthquakes. These tremors are a result of the release of energy from the movement of the fractured rocks, indicating the movement and activity of magma beneath the surface.
along tectonic plate boundaries, where the movement and interaction of plates create conditions for magma to rise and erupt on the Earth's surface. This is known as plate tectonics theory, which explains how most volcanic activity occurs in specific regions like the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. However, there are also some volcanic hotspots that occur away from plate boundaries, such as the Hawaiian Islands.
In the context of plate tectonics, a plume is a column of very hot magma, much hotter than the usual temperature of the mantle, that rises through the cooler magma because the heat causes it to expand and therefore to be less dense. When the rising magma reaches the crust, it exerts force on the crust and contributes to continental drift. It can also cause volcanoes. The Hawaiian chain is an example of islands that were produced by volcanoes that were all caused by the same plume. As the crustal plate moves, the plume strikes different parts of the crust.
Melting is the process in the rock cycle that causes magma to form.
The heat in the Earth's core makes the magma more liquid and allows the movement of the crustal plates.
This is known as a volcanic eruption.
All earthquakes have the same cause, which is the movement of the Earth's crustal plates resulting from convection currents in the magma upon which they float.
The earthquakes are caused by the movement of magma underground and the breaking of rocks by that magma.
Magma is the molten rock below the crust, in the mantle. Tremendous heat and pressure within the earth cause the hot magma to flow in convection currents. These currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates that make up the earth's crust.
Magma is the result of partial melting of crustal rocks. It is a eutectic melt product.

by bubbling hot magma in the earth's inner core, erupting from volcanoes and causing earthquakes which cause the crustal plates to move.

These tremors are a result of the release of energy from the movement of the fractured rocks, indicating the movement and activity of magma beneath the surface.

The crustal plates of the earth are less dense than the magma below. In a very real sense, we are floating on top of the magma.
