- As we know that there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate the buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma, and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber.
Following are the main factors that determine the impact of an earthquake:
- Distance (along the surface and depth)
- Severity (measured by the Richter scale)
- Population density.
- Development (building quality, financial resources, healthcare, infrastructure, etc.)
- Communication links.
Following are the causes of earthquakes and volcanic activity:
- As we know that the Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur because of the movement of the plates, especially as plates interact at their edges or boundaries.
- we know that At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates pull away from each other.
- And First, both volcanoes and earthquakes form where one plate sinks under the other.
