Turkey Earthquake Update; Will the Quakes Trigger a Volcanic Eruption?

In the early morning hours of February 6th, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck a populated area of Southern Turkey in what was the nation's largest earthquake in nearly a century. This was then followed by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, which when combined represents Turkey's worst natural disaster of the 21st century. So, will this trigger a volcanic eruption? This video will answer this question and discuss why Turkey's volcanoes exist.
