They are different because earthquakes require transform boundaries to occur and volcanoes require convergent and divergent boundaries to occur. Also, earthquakes shake the ground and knock over buildings while volcanoes erupt slowly and melt some things.

volcanoes are different because volcano erupts and lava comes out and eartquakes are when earth's tetonic plates( under the earths crust) collide and make the land above shake and rattle; the harder the collision the more violent the land above shakes and the hareder it is is also the farther it may be felt.

Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. However, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the plates not the movement of magma.
