Question
Which is caused by the sudden movements of the earth?
Options
Volcano

Solution
Volcano
Explanation:
Volcanoes are caused by sudden movements of the Earth, such as the movement of tectonic plates or pressure build-up inside the Earth that forces magma to erupt.
On the other hand, folding is a slow and gradual process caused by the compression of Earth's crust over a long period.
