Earth Structure

Explanation:

Volcanic eruptions are caused when magma forces out of an opening in the Earth Crust and becomes lava on coming out of the opening of the Volcano .

When magma forces out of the hole , then it causes a relative motion of the earth rptectonic plates or lithospheric plates .

If this movement is caused in a vigorous manner , then it creates a tension force within the tectonic plates .

After this tension force is released it leads to Eartquake .
