CAUSE AND EFFECT

Cause: The Earth mantle experiences huge heat and pressure which leads to the
forming of magma.

Effect: As magma rises to the Earth surface the volcanic eruptions happen blasting lava,
ash, and gasses into the atmosphere.
Cause: The movement of magma beneath the Earth crust during a volcanic eruption
causes huge pressure on the surrounding rocks.

Effect: The pressure causes cracking of rocks which leads to seismic activity or
earthquakes. These earthquakes can happen during or after the volcanic eruption.

Cause: Underwater volcanic eruptions or earthquakes beneath the ocean floor have the
power to displace a huge amount of water.

Effect: The movement of water causes the formation of a tsunami which is a process of
huge ocean waves that spread across long distances and create a serious threat to
coastal communities.

Cause: Strong flooding frequently caused by tsunami and overflows streams.

Effect: Overflowing rivers, flash floods, and the coastal regions waves create
widespread flooding, damaging both interior and coastal regions.

CONCLUSION
The connections among the volcanic activity, earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods brings
out the need for thorough disaster preparedness. To avoid the effects of these related
geological events, all coastal and interior regions must have surveillance and early
warning systems in place. As a human being we need to achieve and understanding the
Earth changing behaviors become crucial in building resilience and protecting
the communities.
