a
Two underwater plates moved apart from each other, allowing an upwelling of lava that immediately cooled in the water, eventually building itself up till it surfaced.
b
Two underwater plates moved towards each other, crashing and causing an explosion of lava, that immediately cooled and eventually built itself up into the country of Iceland.
c
One oceanic plate subducted under a continental plate, causing the continental plate to break off into the ocean becoming the country of Iceland.
d
Two oceanic plates collided with each other, causing uplift of a non-volcanic mountain until it surfaced above the ocean.

What is the cause of an Earthquake?

Are the North State's recent earthquakes cause for concern? | NSPR

a
Two or more plate boundaries move against each other, producing vibrations and energy waves that travel to the surface
b
Large impacts of asteroids and meteors into the sea crash into the crust, sending shockwaves that are felt as earthquakes across the globe
c
Volcanic eruptions shake the ground around them while the erupt, causing the effect of earthquakes in the regions around them
d
The explosions of flammable gases trapped in pockets under the ground causes the vibrations that create earthquakes
