Explanation:
- Block mountains are formed due to faulting which is caused when the horizontal movements within the earths crust move away from each other.
- Fold mountains are formed due to folding which occurs when the horizontal movements within the earths crust move towards each other.
- Secondary waves rock small buildings back and forth as they pass. Secondary waves can travel through rock, but unlike primary waves they cannot travel through liquids or gases. ...
- As a primary wave passes through a material, the volume and density of the material change slightly.
- Volcanoes form at Earth's surface whereas earthquakes originate from deeper within the crust. ...
- Volcanoes are formed by release of gas and magma.
- Earthquakes are caused by movement along a fault. Volcanoes lead to the formation of new rock whereas earthquakes simply cause waves which disturb the rock.
