Volcanoes created more than 80% of our planet's surface, but explosive eruptions can be deadly; a journey under the earth to discover why volcanoes are so dangerous.

Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates suddenly shift and shock waves shake the Earth's surface; they occur along fault lines -- the most active being the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean and the San Andreas Fault on the American West Coast.
