Suppose a new volcano suddenly formed in the middle of the United States. 1. What most likely caused the formation of this volcano?
2. Would you expect it to be composite, shield, or cinder cone volcano? Explain your reasoning.

(Sorry if this is the wrong subject. I wasn't sure what to put it under)

true. earthquakes are felt whenever there is a slip around a fault in the rocks below the earth. this reorientation of faults create sesmic waves and is known as earthquake, the severity of which is measured in richter scale. these are more prominent in hilly regions as the rocks usually form faults to balance the pressures on it.
