They are cause by moving tectonic plates. The Earth crust is broken up into pieces. They move on the hot and soft mantle.

What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the shaking of the earth. Both can cause damage.
What do the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes have in common?
They are both caused by the plates under the earth being unstable, therefore moving causing vibrations and the outcome is either volcanoes or earthquakes.
What term describes giant waves in the ocean caused by earthquakes or volcanoes?
it is called a Tsunami
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Why are earthquakes mountains and volcanoes in the same classification?
They are all natural things caused by tectonic plates
What are volcanoes are caused by?
Volcanoes are caused by Jesus Christ our lord and savior
What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?

How are earthquakes and volcanoes and mountains are related?
because volcanoes can also be caused by plates
Are earthquakes and volcanoes both caused by techtonic plates?
yes
Are volcanoes and earthquakes manmade?
No. They are caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
What is the name for seismic sea waves caused by earthquakes and volcanoes?
jhhuhgeru

What causes volcanoes and earthquacks?
Volcanoes are caused by the rising of magma in the earths mantle and earthquakes are caused by the colliding of the earths tectonic plates against one another.
How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?
Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.
What is a large wave caused by earthquakes or volcanoes deep beneath the ocean surface?
tunami
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
They're all caused by tectonic movement
