Can lightning cause earthquakes?
No There are two main causes of earthquakes. Firstly, they can be linked to explosive volcanic eruptions; they are in fact very common in areas of volcanic activity where they either proceed or accompany eruptions. Secondly, they can be triggered by Tectonic activity associated with plate margins and faults. The majority of earthquakes world wide are of this type.
What boundary is hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with a plate boundaries. Hot spots can drive volcanic activity all by themselves.
Are volcanic eruptions rare?
Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.
Why are rift zones common places for igneous rocks to form?
The thin crust of a rift zone causes melting in the upper mantle, resulting in volcanic activity.
Are there volcano insurance?
Volcano insurance is a specialized type of insurance coverage that may be offered in certain high-risk areas prone to volcanic activity. It typically covers damages caused by volcanic eruptions, such as property destruction or lava flow. However, not all insurance companies offer volcano insurance, and it may be limited to specific regions where volcanic activity is more common.

What are two common natural occurrences in the Andes that cause mountains to rise and the coast to sink?
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Were there volcanoes in the mesozoic era?
Yes, there was volcanic activity during the Mesozoic Era, and lots of it. Also, plate tectonic activity was common, too. During the Mesozoic Era, the plates moved from Pangaea to Laurasia and Gondwanaland, and then to the 7 continents.
