Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface. When these plates interact—through collisions, separations, or sliding past each other—they can generate stress that leads to earthquakes. Similarly, volcanic eruptions occur when magma from beneath the Earth's crust finds its way to the surface, often triggered by tectonic activity that creates pressure. Both phenomena are interconnected, as they arise from the dynamic nature of the Earth's geology.
