This sudden release of energy created when rocks break is called an earthquake Read more...iWorksheets :5Study Guides :1Vocabulary :7 VolcanoesThe intense heat and pressures in the mantle turn solid rock into liquid magma. Magma comes out through the surface of the crust to form volcanoes. Three volcanoes categories are cinder cones, shield volcanoes and stratovolcanoes.
