Are earthquakes caused by wind?
No, earthquakes cannot be caused by the wind at all. Earthquakes are caused by tectonic plate boundaries, where the moving plates generate pressure. The pressure is released as an earthquake. Occasionally earthquakes may be caused by volcanoes, but this is simply another effect of moving tectonic plates. So the wind has no influence whatsoever on earthquakes or seismic activity.
What causes tsunami and earthquakes in Japan?

What describes the relationship between earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are related because they can both be caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. Volcanic activity can generate earthquakes as magma rises through the Earth's crust, and conversely, earthquakes can trigger volcanic eruptions by creating pathways for magma to reach the surface.
Are fault lines caused by earthquakes?
No, fault lines cause earthquakes
