Answer:-

Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake.

A volcano is a mountain that has, or had, lava (hot, liquid rock) come from a magma chamber under the ground. Volcanoes are formed by the movement of tectonic plates. ... the materials include lava, steam, gaseous sulfur compounds, ash and broken rock pieces. When there is enough pressure, the volcano erupts.

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.
