      Distinguishing Earthquakes and Volcanoes:

      1. Nature of Occurrence:
        • Earthquake: Sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust, resulting in seismic waves.
        • Volcano: Eruption of magma, ash, and gases from beneath the Earth’s surface.
      2. Cause:
        • Earthquake: Caused by tectonic plate movements, faults, or volcanic activity.
        • Volcano: Caused by the movement of magma through the Earth’s crust.
      3. Manifestation:
        • Earthquake: Shaking or trembling of the ground without visible surface rupture.
        • Volcano: Eruption involves the release of lava, ash, and gases, often with visible surface changes.
      4. Effect on Surface:
        • Earthquake: No direct surface rupture; energy release causes ground shaking.
        • Volcano: Creates new landforms, such as mountains or calderas, due to erupted materials.
      5. Common Locations:
        • Earthquake: Can occur worldwide along tectonic plate boundaries or faults.
        • Volcano: Often found near tectonic plate boundaries or hotspots.
      6. Warning Signs:
        • Earthquake: Sudden onset with limited warning.
        • Volcano: Signs may include increased seismic activity, gas emissions, or ground deformation, allowing for some warning.

      Understanding these differences is crucial for preparedness and response to seismic and volcanic events.
