The origin of volcanoes: Hot spots, can be found on plate boundaries or inside the plates. The hot spot is a place deep inside the Earth that begins to form molten lava from extreme heat conditions. It will quickly rise up, pushing and melting its way to the surface resulting in a volcano. Because of the constant moving of the plates, the volcano will be carried away from t...

Circular Motion Earthquake Earthquakes
316 wordsBefore talking about Earthquake, we have to get a better understanding about the Earth, and what happen to it that causes the movement called Earthquake. Lets start saying that the Earth is divided into three parts: the crust, the mantle, and the core. The mantle of the earth is where many earthquakes begin, in that place, the temperatures are very hot. The heat causes some rock to soften; this softened rock is called magma that moves through the mantle in a circular motion. This process is call...

355 wordsAn Earthquake, is when the earths surface shakes caused by rapid movement of the earths rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the earth, usually in the form of strain in rocks, suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the earth by earthquake waves. The study of earthquakes and the waves they create is called seismology. Thats why they call Scientists who study earthquakes, seismologists.
