I'm 14 and I know this answer it the movement of tectonic plates pushing together
no asked how old yo dumb az was

Actually you're 14 and wrong! The right answer is lithospheric plate movement. The reason is because major geological events, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building, result from the movements of the lithospheric plates..
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along fault lines, while volcanic eruptions result from the release of molten rock, gas, and ash from beneath the Earth's surface. Mountains are formed through tectonic plate collisions and the resulting uplift of rock layers, while ocean basins are created through the movement of tectonic plates and the subsequent sinking of oceanic crust.
There are many reasons for mountains and volcanoes. The major one, though, is a shift in the earth's crust often due to plate tectonics and magma flow just beneath the plates themselves. The crust is made up largely of movable/moving plates like the shell of an armadillo. The plates ride the flow of magma, crashing and colliding their edges into each other. This causes the seams to crumple and create mountains and squeeze the flowing magma or lava up between the edges and pockets created by the jagged edges and holes made in the shifts. This is also one of the reasons for earthquakes. Because the shifting and sliding causes the ground we're standing on to shake and tremble as a result.
No, earthquakes and volcanoes do not always occur in the same area. While they can both be related to tectonic plate boundaries, earthquakes can happen in any area with significant tectonic activity, while volcanoes can be found in regions with active magma chambers beneath the surface.
Eruptions that occur where two lithospheric plates come together are typically explosive in nature due to the subduction of one plate beneath the other. This subduction creates magma chambers that can lead to violent eruptions, such as those seen in volcanic arcs like the Ring of Fire. The resulting volcanic activity is often associated with earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges.
Tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace large volumes of water in the ocean. This displacement creates powerful waves that propagate outward to the shore, causing destructive flooding in coastal areas.
Earthquakes are common in the Ring of Fire because it is a horseshoe-shaped region surrounding the Pacific Ocean where several tectonic plates meet. The interaction of these plates creates a lot of seismic activity, leading to frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in this area.
Tsunamis can be triggered by undersea earthquakes, especially those near subduction zones where tectonic plates collide. Volcanic activity can also be linked to earthquakes when magma movement or pressure causes the surrounding rock to fracture and release seismic energy.
Volcanic mountains form when molten rock (magma) erupts onto the Earth's surface through a vent or opening in the Earth's crust. This magma cools and hardens to form lava flows, layers of volcanic ash, and other volcanic materials that build up over time to create a mountain. Continued eruptions can further build up the size of the volcanic mountain.
It is more accurate to say that the process that creates volcanic islands also produces earthquakes.
Mountains are formed by two main factors: tectonic activity, such as the collision of continental plates that creates fold mountains, and volcanic activity, which results in the formation of volcanic mountains from lava and volcanic eruptions. Other factors, such as erosion and weathering, also play a role in shaping mountain landscapes.
volcanic activity, as it is a location where magma from the mantle rises and creates a thermal anomaly at the surface. This can result in volcanic eruptions, geothermal features, and potential hazards like earthquakes and tsunamis.
No, earthquakes and volcanoes do not always occur in the same area. While they can both be related to tectonic plate boundaries, earthquakes can happen in any area with significant tectonic activity, while volcanoes can be found in regions with active magma chambers beneath the surface.
There are two areas where volcanic mountains often form. They are subduction zones and hot spots.
Earthquakes are the result of a sudden release of energy in the crust of the Earth that creates seismic waves. This seismicy factor in an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time.

When plates get pushed together it creates earthquakes and volcanic eruption's.
The forces that help shape the Earth's features include tectonic plate movement, which creates mountains, valleys, and earthquakes, as well as erosion by wind, water, and ice that sculpt landscapes over time. Additionally, volcanic activity can create new landforms such as islands and volcanic mountains.
