information on earthquakes and volcanoes?

The first site below has a good simple explanation of earthquakes and volcanoes.  The second site focuses on recent earthquakes and volcanoes around the world.\nMy favorite video on Volcanoes is from the Eyewitness video series... great photography  and fast moving.  You might be able to find it in a video rental store or the library.  I'm not sure what you needed to know about this subject, so here is a variety.  Hope one of them helps.

For a good outline of what happened, see:\nhttp://quakeinfo.ucsd.edu/~gabi/erth15/lecture09/vesuvius.html\n\nThis appears to give some pretty good information regarding it also:\nhttp://www.vesuvioinrete.it/e_storia.htm

1.  Being near active volcanos probably means you're also in an area that is subject to earthquakes, for the same reason (plate tectonics).\n\n2.  If they erupt, they can do so explosively, in which case hot ash and smoke can suffocate you and burn you to death.  Or they can erupt slowly, like the ones on Hawaii typically due, in which case the lava can overrun homes, properties, etc.\n\n3. Volcanic ash that settles out of the atmosphere can damage respiratory health.\n\n4.  The lava and hot ash can rapidly melt any snow or ice that may be on the mountain, causing devastating floods and mud flows (lahars).\n\n5.  Volcanic dust can be hazardous to airplanes.\n\n6.  If the eruption is big enough, the ash can cause temporary cooling of the earth's climate by blocking sunlight.

INTRODUCTION\nThis project culminates my undergraduate studies at Keene State College as a Geochemistry/Spanish major. I decided to do this research with the intention of learning about the potential hazards involved in living in a volcanically active area, mainly in Quito, Ecuador where I spent the summer of 1995 in with my grilfriends' family, whom without their support and helpfulness, this could not have even been thought about! I was so amazed to wake up daily and look out the window to the south and be awe-stricken by the immensity and beauty of the snow-capped volcano Cotopaxi. Naturally, the first part of the paper describes the geomorphology and volcanic hazards near Cotopaxi as relevant to the development of volcanic hazard maps (see figure 1 (315 K), Figure 2 (99K), for example shows the areas where volcanic ash will fall.\n\nIn my research, I've looked at three main issues that are important for the understanding the methodology used in trying to interpret and make predictions based upon the known systems of a volcano. I've looked into great detail for the many methods that exist for making predictions for possible future use in volcanic predictions. Included are some samples collected in August, 1995 at Mount Cotopaxi, located at 78¡26' west longitude and 00¡41' south latitude. With these rudimentary samples, I started to realize the importance that these andesites have. Shown in this paper are hazard zonation maps which were made prior to the explosions of Mount Saint Helen's in Washington state and complement the maps made for Mount Saint Helen's. These maps have predictions on them showing possible future volcanic events. They are based on the volcano's past history, as can be seen with the eruptive history of Cotopaxi in Table 1, an analysis of some of the deposits located around the volcano in figure 3 (148K). Further attention is spent on other methods of analyzing the hazards, but based on shorter term, such as analysis of gases expelled, earthquake activity, and changes in the relative shape of the volcano. \n\nThis analysis of some of the volcanic deposits used in determining the eruption history of certain volcanoes worldwide, with particular attention paid to Mount Cotopaxi for the purpose of making predictions about future eruption events and for future benchmark studies for hazard mitigation in volcanically active areas of the world. The study of volcanic mineral spring waters and a general comparison between other non-volcanic waters will aid in learning about the influence of the volcanic system. A comparison between the chemical variations of some volcanic mineral waters and some non-volcanic spring fed waters is also made \n\nCotopaxi is a volcano located about 50 km south of Quito, Ecuador. At 5,897 metres it is the second highest in the country—the highest being the Chimborazo. Cotopaxi is technically referred to as a stratovolcano. It has a height of more than 3,000 metres when measured from its base, which has a width about 23 km. It has one of the only equatorial glaciers.\n\nOccasional claims that Cotopaxi is the highest active volcano in the world are known to be incorrect. Llullaillaco volcano is considerably higher and is definitely in an active phase, having erupted as recently as 1877. Ojos del Salado is higher still, and there are indications near its summit of recent activity, although its remoteness precludes a definitive statement as to whether it is currently active.\n\nThere have been more than 50 eruptions of Cotopaxi since 1738. Numerous valleys formed by powerful lahars (mudflows) surround the volcano. This poses a high risk to the local population, their settlements and fields. The city Latacunga has been completely destroyed at least twice in its history. Cotopaxi's most violent eruptions in historical times occurred in the years 1744, 1768, and 1877. In the 1877 eruption pyroclastic flows descended all sides of the mountain, with lahar

Flooding (Flash Flooding), fires, tornados rarely, windstorms (microbursts), and the terrifying possiblity of earthquakes.\n\nArizona is over a deep fault zone that has almost no activity but when it does you will see magnitude 10 earthquakes. \n\nAlong with that, come the volcanic activity. All of Arizona is covered with volcanos. Everything from sunset crater to the superstition mountains and everything in between.

There are lots of connections between volcanoes and earthquakes. Some are direction and indirect. Some comments:\n\n1. Sometimes the collapse of volcanic magma chambers can produce small earthquakes.\n\n2. Earthquakes are mainly caused by the rubbing of tectonic plates against each other as they move. As the tectonic plates move, the edges of some plates are pushed under others. This is called subduction. The melting of the subducted plate can produce volcanism. \n\n3. There are many volcanoes and earthquakes around the so-called "ring of fire" in the Pacific region. This is caused by the movement  of the Pacific tectonic plate.\n\n4. When tectonic plates form at spreading centers, usually under the ocean, magma wells up from below to make new plates. This is related to volcanism. The volcanoes in Iceland are all related to this phenomenon. \n\n5. As plates move over volcanic hotspots, the hot material rising from below can "punch through" the tectonic plate to make a volcanoe. For example, look at the Hawaii-Emperor chain of volcanic islands. As one moves backwards along the chain (which has a mysterious sharp bend in it, when the plate movement changed direction presumably), the islands get older and older. \n\n6. A volcano that forms, creates a large weight on a volcanic plate can sometimes cause it to flex and deform, causing tiny earthquakes in some cases.

It is directly related only to earthquakes.  When a plate boundary ruptures, an earthquake occurs.\n\nIt is indrectly related to volcanism.  Most volcanoes are located on plate boundaries.
