Are a dormant volcanoes still dangerous?
Yes. Even without an eruption a dormant volcano may be prone to earthquakes, landslides, and gas emissions.
When did the earthquakes happen in the mount St. Helens eruption of 1980?
March 20, 1980 was the date of the big eruption.
What causes both earthquakes and volcanic eruption?
Plate Movement
Why can earthquakes signal possible volcanic eruption?
The movement of magma can cause movement in the surrounding rock, resulting in earthquakes.
How either an earthquake or volcanic eruption occurs?
Earthquakes occur when two plates of the Earth's crust collide. The collision creates a seismic wave, shaking the earth for miles around the collision. Volcanic eruptions occur when the pressure becomes too great inside the volcano, forcing the magma up through the vents and the main opening in the volcano.
What describes an explosive eruption?
Minor earthquakes, landslides, ****loads of soot, and well, explosions of lava, this is really a question of opinion.
Are a dormant volcanoes still dangerous?
Yes. Even without an eruption a dormant volcano may be prone to earthquakes, landslides, and gas emissions.
What is a geological event?
Earthquakes and Volcanoes,extinctions of dinosaurs,tsunamis,the breakup of Pangaea the super-continent and many other things

Can people stop earthquakes or volcanic eruption?
We do not know how to stop earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Were there any earthquakes before the eyjafjallajokull eruption?
yes there was a few quakes before this disastrous eruption.....
What is a true statement about how the Earth's surface is changing?
The Earth's surface is always changing. It changes through slow processes and rapid processes. Some slow processes are weathering and erosion. Other changes are rapid processes, such as volcanic eruption, landslides and avalanches, and earthquakes.
When did the earthquakes happen in the mount St. Helens eruption of 1980?
March 20, 1980 was the date of the big eruption.
Why are there small earthquakes before an eruption?
The earthquakes are generated by magma forcing its way though and fracturing rock.
Why can earthquakes signal volcanic eruption?
The movement of magma can cause movement in the surrounding rock, resulting in earthquakes.
What two natural disaster are commonly associated with the movements of plates?
Earthquakes and tsunamis.
Do earthquakes cause volcanoes to explode?
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.
