Is there a possibility that a volcano will erupt in the same day as a other one or in the same week?
GerardoGrijalvaRoble...
Yes. In an average year about 50 volcanoes erupt worldwide. Taken as a simple average this works out to a little less than one eruption every week. In addition, an eruption may continue, either continuously or sporadically, for weeks or even years. Except in a few cases of a shared magma supply, what one volcano is doing will not affect another. Given how often some volcano erupts, it would not be uncommon for two volcanoes hundreds or thousands of miles to erupt on the same day, though these eruptions would be unrelated to one another.

Is volcano and volcanic the same thing?
No. Volcano is a noun describing a mountain or hole in the ground through which lava, ash, and gas can erupt. Volcanic is an adjective that means "of, relating to, or produced by a volcano or volcanoes."
What caused krakatau to erupt?
Same thing as a basic volcano, this one just had lots more magma built up.
When are volcanoes dormant?
dormant means about the same as sleeping.Inactive for a long period of time.
Is a caldera the same as a volcano?
No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
How long does it take for a volcanoe to erupt?
Some volcanoes erupt fairly frequently, others may be dormant for hundreds or thousands of years. The pattern of eruptions, if any, depends on the specific volcano.It depends on the volcano. Each is different and has a different type of eruption pattern. Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD erupted with a pyroclastic cloud and the eruption had begun 3 days earlier. Yet, in 1944 it erupted with a slow moving lava flow. So, even the same volcano can have a different type of eruption.
Does a volcano erupt at the same time another volcano?
sometimes it does and some times it doesn't
Can every volcano erupt at the same time?
no get a brain stupid
Why do you think earthquakes are likely to occur at the same time when the volcano is about to erupt?
In order for a volcano to erupt, magma must move toward the surface. This causes rock to shift and break underground, generating earthquakes.
Do all volcanoes take the same amount of time to erupt?
No ... it depends on how big the volcano is and the mass ... so the answer is no.

Why did the Yellowstone volcano erupt?
It will erupt for the same reason that all volcanoes erupt: magma is collecting in the magma chamber and pressure is increasing. This will eventually reach a breaking point and result in an eruption. The chances of that occuring in our lifetimes however, are very small.
What causes an underwater volcano erupts?
Volcanoes underwater erupt in much the same way as those on dry land. They erupt when pressure builds up. The difference between these two types of volcanoes is that the lava produced in an underwater volcano cools dramatically faster than the lava on land.
Do volcanoes strike in the same place twice?
A volcano is a geologic feature, not an event. An event in which a volcano produces lava or ash is a volcanic eruptions. Virtually all volcanoes will erupt multiple times.
Do volcanoes erupt for the same reasons?
Yes, all volcanoes erupt because the magma underneath or in the volcano is under pressure, which forces the magma to the surface, where there is less pressure. However, volcanoes form in different places.
When are volcanoes dormant?
dormant means about the same as sleeping.Inactive for a long period of time.
