Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
earthquakes and volcano's are related in some sorts of ways, one of these ways are the damage they do.
Did earthquakes appear in the Jurassic period?
Earthquakes did appear during the Jurassic period along with volcano eruptions.
Does a seismograph record the air movementscaused by seismic waves?
Seismographs cannot measure volcanoes. When you research about seismographs, it may show thing about volcanoes. This is because right before a volcano erupts, it can cause little earthquakes and seismographs measure earthquakes!
What causes the earthquakes at the base of a volcano shortly before it erupts?
Tectonic plates.
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
Why can earthquakes be a warning that a volcano is about to arupt?
Earthquakes shake the ground from underneath. This shaking can set off a reaction from within the volcano and activate it.
When small earthquakes are a volcano they are what?
When small earthquakes result in a volcano, they are caused by a slip on a fault near an existing volcano. In 1981, the largest felt volcanic earthquake occurred in the Cascades.
Can earthquakes cause a volcano to erupt?
yes
Is there any effect on volcanic eruption by earthquakes?
earthquakes pressurize the main magma chamber in a volcano by the earth crust. as a result the magma comes out of the volcano
Do earthquakes start volcano eruptions?
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.
Do earthquakes happen while volcano erupts?
yes,they do.
Are earthquakes important?
It helps us to understand the changes taking place in the earth's crust and it helps us to corrolate the amount of damage done to the strength of the quake. It can also tell us some other important things such as if a volcano is becoming more or less active. It can tell us something about the size of a tsunami which could have been produced by the earthquake under water etc... so there are many reasons to understand and measure the strength of earthquakes. this is actually coped and pasted from another place

What are tsunamis triggered by?
Tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes due to vibrations.
Can earthquakes occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. In fact, earthquakes and tremors usually precede the eruption of a volcano and are caused by the volcanic activity and pressure building up beneath the ground.
