When two tectonic plate boundary clashes with eath other one plates goes underneath another the volcano temperature melts the plates and when it tries to erupt we get earthquake as a result

Part III: Assignment Reflection
a) In the term of Geologist earth is a living planet. Earth is the only planet in the solar system that has and active volcanoes. Geologists say that both the earth surface and the interior of the earth is in motion. A volcano plays a vital role in the motion of the plates. The temperature of the volcano melts the inner earth surface as it rises up it gets cooler and the cooler surface is shifted and goes back down again. Its like a cycle, which keeps repeating again and again which is one reason for the plates to move.
Sometimes the pressure underneath earth surface is so much that its hard for earth surface to keep it underneath for a long period of time. The build up pressure is one of the reason for earthquake to occur and finally at the end there is a massive explosion which leads to the volcano eruption.
b) Volcanoes and Earthquake are part of the earth. Each of them are powerful on their own. The only thing that connects them together is the land. Volcanoes and Earthquake both occur from beneath the earth surface.
c) Earthquake and volcanoes are the most deadly and powerful form of destruction. Anywhere in the planet when there occurs an earthquake it comes along with a huge price. In some places many human lives have been lost in huge earthquakes. Recently Japan suffered a huge earthquake, which cost them many human lives and loss of billions of property. The disaster that the earthquake creates is immeasurable. The most important factor of earthquake is that, no one is fully aware of when the earth quake is going to occur.
Volcanoes, as pretty as they look from far they are more dangerous then like earthquakes. They melt almost anything in their path. Volcanoes are also the most massive form of destruction. Its explosion spreads its fire balls in the sky and its can spreads till few miles. When the pressure is build underneath the soil before the volcano appears the pressure is too much for a soil to take. There fore most likely due to that pressure we get earthquakes before the volcanoes. But earthquake does not always bring volcanoes. Volcanoes are very hot in nature and they can melt almost anything in their war of the flow.
d) Every thing in this world is vital and useful to the human being. Such as earthquakes and volcanoes are the unstoppable destructive force of the nature. Where there is a destruction there most human being paid great deal of losses including many lives of humans and animals.
If you look in a different prospective they are beautiful and useful to us. The destructive forces helps us realizes our weaknesses and help us become prepared and stronger for the future. In the case of volcanoes they are beautiful to watch from a safer distance. Volcanoes also bring minerals and many new things in the surface. This helps us to study its nature and usefulness.
