no it's an earthquake.
30 times more energy released. 10 times more ground motion*
Tttc
They both based on the amount of energy that is released during earthquake
the moment magnitude scale rates an earthquake by estimating the total energy released during an earthquake
Focus or Hypocenter
The Tectonic Plates.
The point underground where the energy is released (causing the earthquake) is the focus point. This area is the actual origin of the earthquake. It should not be confused with the epicenter, which is the point above ground where the earthquake originates.
Volcanoes
The point within Earth's interior where the energy of an earthquake is released is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the exact location where the seismic rupture occurs along a fault within the Earth's crust. The energy released at the focus propagates as waves to the Earth's surface, causing the shaking and destruction associated with earthquakes.
epicenter
The point within Earth's interior where the energy release of an earthquake occurs is known as the focus or hypocenter. This is the location where the seismic waves originate and spread outwards, causing the shaking and damage on the Earth's surface. The epicenter, on the other hand, is the point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface.
Seismic energy is the energy released by the sudden movement of rocks in the Earth's crust, typically during an earthquake. This energy propagates in the form of seismic waves that can cause vibrations and shaking of the Earth's surface. Studying seismic energy allows scientists to understand the behavior of the Earth's interior and improve earthquake prediction and monitoring.

no it's an earthquake.
Earths energy is released when there is too much heat inside of Earth and volcano's erupt.
Roughly 32 times more energy is released in a Magnitude 6 earthquake than in a Mag.5 quake.
