Answer:

  1. Volcanic eruptions can cause earthquakes. Answer a: Buildings collapsed at the foothills of Himalayas because of an earthquake, but before collapsing they were moving backward and forward because in hilly areas there is always rearrangement of earth plates under hills.
  2. Where as Deccan Plateau has been formed due to the fissure type volcano where the Lava comes out of the crack in the earth crust and spreads all around forming a flat surface. Therefore there is difference in the formation of Meghalaya plateau and Deccan Plateau.
  3. Most volcanoes form along plate boundaries. Volcanoes are common along tectonic plate boundaries where oceanic plates sink beneath other plates. As a plate sinks deep into a subduction zone, it heats and begins to melt, forming magma. If the magma reaches the surface it can build tall volcanic mountains.
  4. The Barren Island is known to be located in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and is home to the Barren Volcano that takes the shape of a cone. The conical shape of the volcano is due to its ejects piling around the vent in the form of a cone.
  5. Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake.

Hope it helps you dear!
