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.
Which is the largest volcano mountain ever recorded?
mount Manganui
Why do earthquakes happen by volcanic areas?
The reason why is simple. When a volcano erupts, it ruptures the earth's inner core, causing a few aftershocks of earthquakew.
Are earthquakes and volcanoes related?
Earthquakes can cause a volcano to erupt.
What is the largest volcano on the earth?
Mauna Loa Volcano is the largest volcano on earth.
Does volcanoes cause most of the earthquakes?
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.
Is the largest volcano the Super Volcano?
no it isn't the mauna loa is the largest volcano in Hawaii
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.

What do many small earthquakes near a volcano mean?
Increases in seismic activity around a volcano are typically caused by the movement of magma below the surface into a magma chamber. This causes increases in pressure which leads to fracturing to the rock mass around the magma chamber causing small earthquakes. If the pressure continues to build it would ultimately force the volcano to erupt. As such the small earthquakes are potentially a warning sign of an impending volcanic eruption.
What triggers the small earthquakes the occur around a volcano before an eruption?
Increases in seismic activity around a volcano are typically caused by the movement of magma below the surface into a magma chamber. This causes increases in pressure which leads to fracturing to the rock mass around the magma chamber causing small earthquakes. If the pressure continues to build it would ultimately force the volcano to erupt.
Can earthquakes cause a volcano to erupt?
yes
