In most cases, no. However, there is evidence that, on a few occasions, earthquakes appear to have triggered eruptions, most likely by disturbing the magma chamber beneath the volcano. Earthquakes often precede a volcanic eruption, be these are not the cause of the eruption, but are rather a result of the movement of magma that leads to an eruption.

Do earthquakes explode like volcanoes?
no
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.
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes be in the news?
Because earthquakes and volcanoes are important, they can cause the death of dozens or even thousands of people.
Can Landslides and mudslides result from both volcanoes and earthquakes. True or false?
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
What do plate tectonics cause around the world?
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
What primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Tectonic plates
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.
What is primary cause of volcanoes and earthquakes?
Convergent and transform boundaries
