The subduction of earth's surface cause of volcanic eruption and tsunami

Live curious.


                       
 Java tsunami of 2004

                 


 The constantly moving conveyor system cause volcanic eruption (thus the term tectonic eruption rather than volcanic)

1, In the case of Monserrat at Carribean, the subduction of the earth's crust caused Atlantic crust to collide with Caribbean crust;  one of the crust subducted there was friction, the magma leaked , water seeped in and violent explosion ensued.

2.  The great tsunami of Dec 26, 2004 in Java:  the Burma and Java crust collided causing the massive tidal wave.  Such are the powerful effect of the earth's constantly moving conveyor belt system

If know the area of subduction, then we can be prepared for the next volcanic eruption or tsunami.
