Did Atlantis and Pompeii get destroyed at the same time?
No they were not. Pompeii was destroyed in 79 BC. It is now thought that Atlantis was the Greek island of Santorini, which in antiquity was called Thera. It is a volcanic island. Most of the island collapsed into the sea in a Volcanic eruption which is thought to have occurred in the mid-second millennium BC. But we have to keep in mind that the philosopher Plato in a book he wrote came up with the concept of an "ideal" society he called Atlantis and which according to him was sunk into the ocean as a punishment by the Gods right after they had supposedly tried to attack Athens. So Atlantis may also have been completely made up by him.
Do volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes?
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.
