Geothermal.
Earthquakes are from the plates in the earth moving and grinding up against eachother, then the earth gets a huge buzz, they occur where the plates meet, places like Japan.
Volcanoes occur where there are mountains, as the conventional flow of magma under the earth pushes up the earth to form mountains, when the pressure builds up enough, BOOM, lava everywhere people dead.

What happens underwater to cause a tsunami?
The most common underwater causes of tsunami are earthquakes and volcanoes. The event causes a large column of water to be displaced and moved out from the source. See the related question about the causes of tsunami for more detail about this question and about other causes of tsunami that may not start underwater.
What are the importance of volcanoes?
well volcanoes enrich soil which are good for growing crops. Also they can be used for an alternative source of energy. The main thing volcanoes provide is new land
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The Heat Cycle
How do ocean waves form?
Ocean waves are form cause of the wind, or earthquakes. It forms when energy is transferred from a source to the ocean water.
Where do tsunamis get their destructive power?
The source of energy is from movement of the sea floor or sediment on the sea floor. This movement displaces some water and so gives energy to the water.
What is the source of energy that causes the to blow?
What source: Energy From where: Sun

What energy source causes evaporation?
heat energy
What is the source that causes the wind to blow?
What source: Energy From where: Sun
What is heat and what causes it?
Friction causes heat. Heat is a source of energy.
In a food web what is the source of energy?
In most food webs the Sun is the ultimate source of energy. Some food webs start with chemotrophs and in those cases the source of the energy are chemicals often from underwater volcanoes.

The types of energy involved in ground source heating?
geothermal: volcanoes hot spots, vents.
What are two ways to determine energy release through seismographic data?
Earthquakes earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This release of energy causes intense ground shaking in the area near the source of the earthquake and sends waves of elastic energy, called seismic waves, throughout the Earth. Earthquakes can be generated by bomb blasts, volcanic eruptions, and sudden slippage along faults. Earthquakes are definitely a geologic hazard for those living in earthquake prone areas, but the seismic waves generated by earthquakes are invaluable for studying the interior of the Earth.
What source of energy causes these oceans currents?
The immediate source of most energy moving ocean currents is wind. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun.
What is the source of elastic?
Mechanical energy (that causes the elastic deformation).
Do scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquakes?
Yes, scientists use volcanoes to predict earthquake activity, because volcanic and earthquake activity go together. Volcanic eruptions spew out lava whose source is in the magma of the mantle. Earthquakes are caused by heat from the mantle making crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates move.
