What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
Can lightning cause earthquakes?
No There are two main causes of earthquakes. Firstly, they can be linked to explosive volcanic eruptions; they are in fact very common in areas of volcanic activity where they either proceed or accompany eruptions. Secondly, they can be triggered by Tectonic activity associated with plate margins and faults. The majority of earthquakes world wide are of this type.
What events causes tsunamis?
Under water earth quakes, landslides,volcanic eruptions, under water explosions and the impact of a meteorite or comet.
How the sun causes natural disasters?
the sun causes the earth to heat up more which the earths core is already heating so this activity causes the techtonic plates to move creating things such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions ect.
Do tsunamis have weather geologic or humans cause?
Tsunamis are geologic in origin. Typically they are triggered by earthquakes, but other causes can include landslides and volcanic eruptions.

What is the psychical weathering?
Physical weathering is any process that causes erosion. Volcanic eruptions, wind, precipitation and earthquakes are the most common forms.
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
What are some natral causes of acid rain?
Volcanic eruptions.
What events causes tsunamis?
Under water earth quakes, landslides,volcanic eruptions, under water explosions and the impact of a meteorite or comet.

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 causes both earthquakes and volcanic eruption?
Plate Movement
Do earthquakes and volcanoes always occur in the same area?
Waves from the Earthquake have been ringing the planet like bell, causing stress in all sections of the planet", Martin said. "Imagine a calm magma chamber that just needs one push, even if a few feet. This would be enough to cause instability in the chambers, causing volcanic eruptions in various locations. These three eruptions will not be the only mountains to go and other quakes worldwide will follow as the worldwide faults get disturbed.
