Yes. Earthquakes can start volcano eruptions. Most of the time they don't, but if you have an ACTIVE volcano in your area then yes they can. What is an active volcano? An active volcano is a volcano that hasn't died off. Just like the volcano in hawii, it's active as it constantly pours hot red lava into the ocean.
