From what I remember, Krakatoa was where tectonic plates moved, which triggered a volcanic eruption and I'm pretty sure a tsunami/tidal wave. Hope that helps! I'm sure there are more instances of this though, this is just one example.

What are active-inactive volcanoes?

Active volcanoes are currently erupting, have erupted in the past 10,000 years, or have the potential to erupt in the future. Inactive volcanoes, also known as dormant, are currently not erupting but have the potential to erupt again in the future.

Extinct volcanoes will never erupt again... I am not sure what stage but this is the best info I can give you.

When are cone-shaped volcanos created?

They have been created during the formation of the earth millions and even billions of years ago. Earthquakes and tectonic plate shifts may help form volcanoes, and may even erupt them.

When did volcanologists start?

People have been fascinated by volcanoes for thousands of years. Volcanologists hope to be able to predict when volcanoes will erupt and save lives.


Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?

In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.


Are earthquakes significant in Australian history?

No they are not, relatively few earthquakes have ever been recorded in Australia as it is a very stable continent with no active volcanoes and few if no earthquakes.


Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?

Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.


What is this answer True or false all volcanoes at some point can erupt even if it was dormant for a long time?

True. All volcanoes have the potential to erupt again, even if they have been dormant for long periods. Dormant volcanoes can become active again due to changes in geological conditions, such as the movement of magma beneath the surface. However, predicting exactly when a dormant volcano will erupt can be challenging.


Do volcanoes erupt once a lifetime?

A volcano can erupt many times. If the pressure from below builds up too much, the volcano will erupt, throwing out very hot gases and lava, until the pressure has been released.
