Answer:

hope this helps, have an awesome day! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Volcanoes form at Earth's surface whereas earthquakes originate from deeper within the crust. ... Volcanoes are formed by release of gas and magma. Earthquakes are caused by movement along a fault. Volcanoes lead to the formation of new rock whereas earthquakes simply cause waves which disturb the rock
