What is the Relation of Earthquakes and Volcanoes? Earthquakes and volcanoes are closely related to each other. Explosive volcanoes can easily result in the development of an earthquake. Volcanoes that produce acidic lava are the most common in causing earthquakes (Booth, 2011).
When it comes in contact with air, acidic lava cools off very quickly. This causes a blockage in the volcanic vent. As a result, there is no escape from pressure.
The build-up of pressure reaches its limit and explodes through the weakest part of the volcano. The resultant explosion can result in an earthquake of a very huge magnitude.
