What is the role of plate movement in earthquakes?

Plate movement has no impact on earthquakes

Plate movement causes volcanic eruptions instead of earthquakes

Plate movement only affects the weather and not seismic activity

Plate movement causes stress to build up along the edges of tectonic plates, leading to the release of energy in the form of earthquakes.

How does plate movement contribute to volcanic activity?

Plate movement has no impact on volcanic activity.

Plate movement can cause subduction, leading to the formation of magma and volcanic activity.

Plate movement causes earthquakes, not volcanic activity.

Plate movement results in the cooling of magma, preventing volcanic activity.

Explain the relationship between plate movement and seismic activity.

The movement of tectonic plates only affects ocean currents

Seismic activity is caused by changes in the weather

Plate movement has no impact on seismic activity

The movement of tectonic plates can cause stress to build up in the Earth's crust, leading to seismic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

How do tectonic plate movements cause volcanic eruptions?

By causing earthquakes that release lava from the Earth's core

By creating subduction zones and melting rock to form magma

By cooling down the magma and solidifying it into rock

By pushing the plates together and creating a vacuum for magma to fill
