Earthquakes affect volcanoes because Seismic 

waves weaken the magma chamber and cause an explosive eruption from the volcano. 

Earthquakes affect tsunamis by large earthquakes on the seafloor when giant rocks move past each other suddenly, causing the water to move and make giant waves called tsunamis.

And finally Forest Fires are made from Earthquakes when a telephone line, or something electric or with gas gets loose. Then it might burn a tree to ashes and the fire gets caught on some dead grass and so on.

Earthquakes can be very destructive to humans, it can destroy houses, it can seriously damage people, their things, and maybe even kill them! There are a few things you should do if you want to survive a powerful earthquake.

Also- though scientists are working on it- earthquakes cannot be forecasted till they are happening, so if you live in an area that gets lots of earthquakes, be ready.

Most earthquakes last a minute or less but can do big damage. Each year, around 1 million earthquakes happen, just most of them you can’t feel because they have a super small effect. Earthquakes can also make landslides happen. Earthquakes can make landslides because the shaking makes things slide and then before you know it, you have a landslide. 

Earthquakes can also make avalanches, just like landslides, the shaking makes the ground move and then a few large rocks tumble into each other, then more, and more, and soon you have an avalanche on your hands.

Also, sometimes the large earthquake doesn't destroy everything, just weakens everything. Then  sometimes, a second earthquake can finish what the first earthquake started.

Earthquakes occur when two plates start moving apart or  to break this down the Earth is a puzzle. Once a puzzle piece is taken out of the puzzle, it’s missing a piece so the pieces can move like the Earth is being pulled.

Example: Seismic Waves can make a volcano explode.

Destructive:  causing great and irreparable harm or damage.

“Did you hear about the destructive earthquake?”

Magma Chambers: A place in a volcano that holds that lava

Example: “The Magma Chamber couldn’t keep the lava in any longer and the volcano exploded!”

Forecast: To be told in advance. 

Example: The weather girl forecasts that it will be snowy today.

Scientist: A person who studies science

Example: Scientists have found out so many things we wouldn’t have known without them.

Plates: Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, the rocky inner layer above the core.  

Seismographic waves: an elastic wave in the earth produced by an earthquake or other means.

Volcanic earthquakes are caused by lava coming up from the earth’s core. They happen either before or after a volcano errupts. This kind of volcanic eruption often actually helps people. When people feel the rumble, they know to run away so they don’t get hurt when the volcano erupts. The most commonly known kind of earthquake is called a tectonic earthquake. A tectonic earthquake is caused by the movement of the earth’s tectonic plates. These happen most often around where the 7 major plates are. All of these kinds of earthquakes are very dangerous. It is important to stay safe and try not to become a person who is responsible for causing collapse or explosion earthquakes. 

(3) Each year Southern California has about 10,000 earthquakes.

(4) Alaska has the most earthquakes per year.

(5) New York State has had about 500 earthquakes in its history.

(6) The last earthquake that happened in NYS was about a year ago, it was 1.36 magnitude on the Richter scale, and happened in Hillcrest, NY.
