Question

the release of magma from the creater is called an earthquake

 

Answer 1

Is this a TRUE/FALSE question? The release of magma (lava) from the crater of a volcano is a volcanic eruption. Therefore, the answer is FALSE.  The scientific definition of an earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.  You can have an earthquake without lava flow out of the crater of a volcano.

Answer 2

I'd go with lava.
