Where is the earthquake came from?
Earthquakes come from the ground where a tectonic plate is either subdued (pushed under) another plate or breaks in half. When this happens a lot of energy is released shaking the ground. Volcanoes come from cracks in the earth. Underneath the crust, liquid rock (called magma) is stored in a magma chamber. when there is enough heat and pressure the top of the volcano blows off and magma is released. Once the magma is out of the volcano it is called lava.
