That sounds like a trick question.

There should be a space between "maybe" so that it reads "may be". The word "may" is the helping verb and "be" is the main verb.

"Earthquake", "Tectonic", and "Volcanic" are all nouns.

Yes, it should be ''may be''. I think ''may'' is an adverb, not a helping verb.
