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.
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.
*volcanoes Earthquakes and vOlcanoes can cause much damage among an area if it's shaken to pieces.
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
Most often earthquakes, volcanoes, and rift valleys.
Yes, Hawaii has the most earthquakes and volcanoes in the US.
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.
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.
Because earthquakes and volcanoes are important, they can cause the death of dozens or even thousands of people.
True earthquakes and volcanoes can cause landslides.
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
Volcanoes can cause lava flows and large amounts of ash. They might be associated with earthquakes as well.
Plate tectonics can cause volcanoes, earthquakes, and underwater earthquakes can cause tsunamis.
