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.
Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake. These earthquakes are usually too weak to be felt but can be detected and recorded by sensitive instruments. Once the Plumbing system of the volcano is open and magma is flowing through it, constant earthquake waves, called harmonic tremor are recorded (but not felt) Also Most earthquakes trigger Tsunami's So (Tectonic plates) is they key work for you :)

What features form at divergent boundaries?
Trenches, mountains, islands, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis
How do divergent boundaries form volcanoes?
no yes and symp
What do movement in the Earth cause?
Earthquakes. In addition to mountains, and volcanoes, and rift valleys, and tsunamis, and reestablishment of continental boundaries.
What natural disasters are cause by plate techtonics?
hurricanes is not what occurs it is earthquakes volcanos tsunamis and mountains
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
What do Divergent forms?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What form divergent?
They form trenches, mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
What features form at divergent boundaries?
Trenches, mountains, islands, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis
How do convergent and transform boundaries cause earthquakes?
It can cause earthquakes, volcanoes, oceanic trenches, mountains, tsunamis, and subduction.

no yes and symp

What natural disasters are cause by plate techtonics?
hurricanes is not what occurs it is earthquakes volcanos tsunamis and mountains
What is responsible for earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
high earth pressure
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Are tsunamis connected to any other natural phenomena?
Yes. Tsunamis are often triggered by earthquakes.
What are all the tectonic natural disasters?
Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
