Is there a relationship between movement and distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes?

Volcanoes don't move.
Earthquakes move tectonic plates, and are then pronounced "earthquakes".
So, no, I'm pretty sure there isn't.

Which two natural disasters are commonly associated with the movement of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquakes may also cause tsunami.
How are earthquakes and volcanoes related to the theory of the plate tectonics?
They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
What causes volcanoes to erupt under earths surface?
mostly earthquakes or plate tectonic movement.
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.
Which event cannot be explained by the movement of the lithosphere plates tornadoes earthquakes volcanoes mountain formation?
Tornadoes.
Is there a relationship between the direction of the movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Volcanoes
Is there a relationship between the direction of movement and distribution of earthquakes?
Volcanoes
What do Earthquakes and volcanoes show power of what kind of movement?
plate movement
Anthracite coal relationship to earthquakes and volcanoes?
Coals are formed by burial and metamorphosis of peat deposits. In this process, many of the volatiles are driven off, and left is a 'pure' carbon. Earthquakes are caused mainly by the movement of tectonic plates. Volcanoes are caused by the eruption of magma from the mantle. So volcanoes are associated mainly with the movement of tectonic plates; but not vice versa. Anthracite has little to do with either.
Name 2 destructive side effects of plate movement?
Earthquakes and Volcanoes
How does the movement of the mantle affect human societies?
it affects it by the earthquakes and volcanoes it causes
What two types of natural disaster are associated with plate movement?
Earthquakes and volcanoes! Also earthquakes can in turn cause tsunami.
Why does an earthquake zone have earthquakes if no volcanoes are there?
Volcanoes are not the primary cause of earthquakes. Most earthquakes result from the stresses created by tectonic plates moving past or against one another. At transform boundaries there is no mechanism to produce volcanoes, but the movement of the plates will still cause earthquakes. Stresses within a plate can also cause earthquakes.
What is the relationship between earthquakes and crustal movement?
Crustal movements cause earthquakes because of the sound waves and the movement underground.
What does the theroy of plate tectonics explain?
it explains y there is volcanoes, earthquakes, and the movement of the continents
What do volcanoes mountainsand earthquakes all have in common?
They're all caused by tectonic movement
What does movement along plate boundaries cause?
Earthquakes, volcanoes to erupt, mountains, etc...
