I'm pretty sure that earthquakes are more common. Also, earthquakes can open up cracks in volcanoes which leads to built up pressure being released from the core of the volcano, which usually leads to a volcanic eruption.

Why do earthquakes usually cause more destruction than volcanoes?

are you asking which is more dangerous because if so volcano's are very dangerous but they don't happen as often as earthquake's. earthquakes would be more dangerous because they happen very often tearing down many home and countries also volcano's are pretty bad as well but there aren't very many of them so the answer would be an earth quake.


What is a volcano?

A volcano is a mount (or mountain) that has magma in it. A volcano also is like an earthquake releasing pressure from the inner core of the earth. If there is a lot of pressure to be released this will cause the eruption to be bigger and more destructive, like the volcano Mount Tambora that erupted in 1815.

What is the type of earthquake that does damage to roads and buildings?

The type of earthquake that causes damage to roads and buildings is typically a strong or major earthquake. These earthquakes have higher magnitudes and release more energy, leading to more intense shaking that can result in structural damage to infrastructure like roads and buildings.


How does earthquake cause landslide?

Earthquakes cause shaking that causes soil, rocks to slide down a mountain side. The longer the earthquake the more likely there will be large landslides. Volcanoes can also cause landslides when they erupt.
