Volcanic Eruptions
Volcanic eruptions are most commonly caused by tectonic plates shifting but can also be caused by when one tectonic plate shifts under the other, the sediment, magma and seawater is forced into the chamber which eventually overflows and causes the volcano to erupt and spray lava into the sky. Another way a volcano can erupt is when two tectonic plates move apart from each other and magma rises and fills the gap which causes an eruption.
