Does an earthquake occur when magma from the magma chamber rises?

That causes some earthquakes, but most earthquakes occur as a result of tectonic plate grinding against each other.

How is a magma chamber formed in a volcano?
Magma rises through fractures from beneath the crust because it is less dense than the surrounding rock. When the magma cannot find a path upwards it pools into a magma chamber. As more magma rises up below it, the pressure in the chamber grows.
What is the Term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary?
term that is used to describe when magma rises to earth's surface but does not occur at a boundary
The cause of volcanic activity?
Hot springs and Geysers. A geyser is a foundation of water and steam that erupts from the ground. A hot spring forms when groundwater heated by a nearby body of magma rises to the surface and collects in a natural pool.
Does magma collect underground in magma chambers?
Magma is less dense than rock and is buoyant due to this density difference. It will seek out any weaknesses in the rock above it to reach the surface.
Why may a volcano that is about to erupt give off more gas?
Volcanoeproduce small earthquake the magma moves upward that happens because the magma moves/pushes on a rock that it rises

What causes a magma chamber to rise?
Magma rises through the crust because it is less dense than the surrounding rock, and due to the enormous pressure inside the earth.
Does magma collect underground in magma chambers?
Magma is less dense than rock and is buoyant due to this density difference. It will seek out any weaknesses in the rock above it to reach the surface.
The energy source associated with hot springs and volcanoes is?
The Magma chamber underneath the volcano. The magma is Buoyant so it naturally rises to the surfae

Why do supervolcanoes occur?
super volcanoes can occur when the magma rises into the crust from a hotspot but is unable to breakthrough the crust. Pressure builds in a large and growing magma pool until the crust is unable to contain the pressure.
Why do Volcanoes occur in particular states?
that where the tech tonic plates are split so mountains form and then the magma rises and occurs
What volcanoes occur where two plates move apart and magma rises up to create new crust?
Rift volcanoes
Why does magma in the mantle rise through the crust above it?
magma comes from the outer core and when an earthquake or something happends, a crack froms and the pressure of lava shoots up like a geyser.
