Can a volcanoe cause an earthquake?

Answer 1

Yes. The volcano eruption can affect the plates and a earthquake might happen.

+++

It's generally the other way round. Most active earthquake zones lie over subducting plates and it the stick-slip movement of these that cause the tremors. The associated volcanoes are a following process, emitting magma formed from partial melting of the subducted plate.

Answer 2

Yes, a volcano can cause an earthquake when magma movement and pressure underground lead to the fracturing of rock layers. This can trigger seismic activity as the volcano becomes active and erupts.

Answer 3

A valcano could cause a earthquake but it is not likley. If the the eruption is hard enogh maybe.

Answer 4

The movement of magma underground, both through the movement itself and the breaking of rocks, sends vibrations and shockwaves through the ground that are felt or detected as earthquakes.

Answer 5

It depends on how big the earthquake is. But for now, I would say no because I read it somewhere...

Answer 6

No. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but they are not caused by earthquakes. Both volcanoes and earthquakes are commonly found at plate boundaries

Answer 7

Yes. Volcanoes often to tigger earnthquakes as a result of magma moving and fracturing rock underground.
