VOLCANOES

        When there are cracks caused by previous earthquakes on the lithosphere, over the areas where earthquake-causing elements concentrate, or at the edges of lithospheric plates, the aforementioned elements that cause earthquakes gradually emerge towards the surface and on their way they vaporize due to pressure differences; they accelerate, their temperature increases significantly, their surrounding rocks melt, they broaden existing cracks and they sweep along an amount of magma (Lava).

    According to the above, volcano eruptions follow earthquakes in specific areas. A volcanic eruption is accompanied by small earthquakes, because the outlet of gases usually takes place gradually and it begins when the first ones reach the western side of the projection. (Figure 6).
