Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving magma causes earthquakes as it creates pressure and friction against the surrounding rocks, leading to vibrations that can be detected and monitored by seismographs. This seismic activity can potentially indicate the movement and migration of magma, which can be used to forecast volcanic activity.
