Large earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions at nearby volcanoes.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that large earthquakes trigger volcanic eruptions at nearby volcanoes?

Partly. Several peer-reviewed studies report a statistical increase in eruption likelihood near large earthquakes, but typically only within limited distances, magnitudes, or strain thresholds, and one reanalysis finds short-term triggering consistent with random chance. The evidence supports a partial, contested association rather than a general rule that large earthquakes trigger eruptions at nearby volcanoes.
