Earthquakes are the most common earth event that creates seismic waves. When rocks break and move along a fault line, energy is released in the form of seismic waves that travel through the Earth's crust, leading to earthquakes.
Seismic waves are associated with earthquakes.

It is possible to have a seismic wave without having an earthquake. Any wave moving through the ground is a seismic wave, and all earthquakes are seismic waves. But seismic waves can be created by volcanic action, landslides, meteor strikes or the like. Though all earthquakes are seismic waves, not all seismic waves are earthquakes.
Waves produced by earthquakes are called seismic waves. These waves can be further categorized into primary (P-waves), secondary (S-waves), and surface waves.
Seismic waves are any waves that travel through the Earth. As such all earthquake waves are seismic waves, however not all seismic waves are caused by earthquakes.
