because the eather has a "hot spot" under it, it stays in one spot as earths plates move slowly , one it burns through the crust it gives out lava , forming a volcano, which leads to chains of volcanos

Area Where Earthquakes and Volcanos Are CommonThat area is called the Ring of Fire.
Japan is on the ring of fire, most of the mountains there are volcanos resulting from the subduction of the pacific plate under the asian plate.
The short answer for this is that many times volcanoes form along earth quake fault lines. This is not always the case though as they can form in the middle of earth's plates also. (earth quake fault lines are usually found on plate boundaries, where two plates meet)
