Answer:

Answer:volcanoes can only be triggered into eruption by nearby tectonic earthquakes if they are already poised to erupt.Enough "eruptive" magma within the volcanic system. Significant pressure within the magma storage region.If those conditions exist, it's possible for earthquakes to cause volcanic eruptions
