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.

∙ 12y agoan earthquake can cause more damage than a volcano because it has a high magnitude. the higher the magnitude the bigger the earthquake.

Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.
What does plate tectonics have to do with volcanoes and earthquakes?
volcanoes: make the ground crumble and break and cause plates to move and smash earthquakes: makes the ground break and smash together and causes plates because they break when they hit each other.
What are the primary dangers of volcanoes and earthquakes and earthquakes?
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
Can volcanoes cause earthquakes?
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes be in the news?
Because earthquakes and volcanoes are important, they can cause the death of dozens or even thousands of people.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
How do earthquakes affect the land?
They cause destruction.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
Do volcanoes cause eartquakes?
Earthquakes are usually caused by a shift of rock along a fault line, snapping into a new alignment.
