sometimes yes, sometimes no.
because a volcanic eruption happens after an earthquake
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
because the fault lines when they move it causes the vocanoes to start erupting.
yes they do if they occur in the same area.
Earthquakes and volcanoes, although sometimes related are not always found in the same place. Although you will always see earthquakes associated with volcanoes, an earthquake can occur without any volcanic implications. Earthquakes are most commonly experienced along the west coast of the United States as well as along the southern part of the state of Alaska. Although this is the most common place to experience earthquakes, they can happen anywhere throughout the United States. Volcanoes are also most common along the west coast of the United States (with the exception of southern and central California) as well as the southern part of Alaska. The central and southern parts of California although the most prone to earthquakes do not at this time have a heavy concentration of active volcanoes. The earthquakes in this area are driven primarily by the San Andres and sister fault lines.
Because the same rifts in the mantle that bring magma to the surface (vulcanism) also cause plate shifts (earthquakes). Such an area is called "seismically active".
Yes, volcano eruptions can cause earthquakes; they can also be caused by earthquakes or occur at the same time.Yes. Earthquakes are common around active volcanoes. They are usually triggered by the movement of magma beneath the earth and the fracturing of rock that results. However, volcanic earthquakes are not very large and generally do not cause much damage directly.

The movement of tectonic plates are almost always the cause for earthquakes and volcanoes, although the actual quake or eruption may occur long after the underlying movement. Earthquakes are sudden shifts in the crust, when built-up stress along rock faults is released. The magma for volcanoes is formed of rocks that melt when they are pushed deeper into the Earth by tectonic forces.
Mountains and earthquakes occur in the same fold mountain areas because of the tectonic plates coming together, moving apart, and sliding one atop another. This causes areas to rise and form mountains.
Earthquakes and volcanoes can both make the ground shake. Both of these natural disasters also cause an extreme amount of damage. A volcano is different from an earthquake in the fact that they produce lava.
