That depends on the volcano.

When Zeus toppled Cronos from power he placed many of "the hundred handed ones" on various mountains and volcanos, for when Cronos' minions and brothers - the titans - went to climb said mountains the hundred handed ones threw rocks down to them, thousands upon thousands of rocks and boulders, which scared and scattered the titans making them easier to capture.

Or of course when the Greek goddess Gaia, goddess of earth, gets mad and angry the earth reflects her temper with earthquakes and volcano's.

Hope thats of some help...?
