i think so because if a earthquake is close to a volcano the the shaking from a earthquake will put a crack in the volcano lava chamber and then the volcano erupt.

Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
How can volcanoes errupt under water?
The tectonic plates shifting is what causes an underwater volcano to erupt. Plate shifting is also the cause of tsunamis and earthquakes.
What does movement along plate boundaries cause?
Earthquakes, volcanoes to erupt, mountains, etc...
What are undersea earthquakes?
Undersea volcanoes that erupt.
Does volcanoes cause most of the earthquakes?
No, but they are very related. Tectonic plates shift which could cause earthquakes because of the strong vibrations and could also cause the pushing up of magma, causing the volcano to erupt.
How do you know when volcanoes will erupt?
Occurence of tremors, earthquakes, gasseous emission and landslides.
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Can earthquakes cause a volcano to erupt?
yes
What are the primary dangers of volcanoes and earthquakes and earthquakes?
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
Do earthquakes have a vent?
No. Volcanoes have vents. Vents are holes though which ash, gas, and lava can erupt.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
Do seismologists also study volcanoes?
They do occasionally, and they sometimes help vulcanologists. This is because volcanoes generate earthquakes, and analyzing patterns in these earthquakes can help to tell if a volcano is likely to erupt soon.
