An earthquake can be caused in two different ways, there is a volcanic earthquake and a tectonic earthquake. Tectonics earthquakes are much more common than volcanic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes are when magma, or molten rock, moves underground. This can cause earthquake directly in what is called a harmonic tremor, or indirectly by breaking and shifting rock.
A tectonic earthquake is when stress built up by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates is released in the form of shaking.
Because the volcano shakes the ground.

As for I only know, there's only earthquakes and volcanic eruptions...please help!
because a volcanic eruption happens after an earthquake
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
It is called the Ring of Fire. Or, if you weren't being specific, a place where earthquakes occur is called a fault line, where the continental plates meet. When they shift, it causes earthquakes and can form volcanoes.
The answer is No.

No. Ancient volcanic activity did occur in the region, but it is not at all prone to earthquakes in modern times.
Not usually. Although earthquakes often occur before a volcanic eruption, they are not the cause. The earthquakes are the result of magma (molten rock) moving underground leading up to an eruption. A few volcanic eruptions are thought to have been triggered or initiated by earthquakes, but this is not the typical case.

Earthquakes occur near faults and near the edges of plates in the earth's crust. Volcanic eruptions occur wherever a volcano is. Volcanic eruptions can occur when magma from below Earth's surface seeps through a weak spot in the crust. Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries, along the edges of plates, so this is where volcanoes occur also.
Just like all other volcanoes
Earthquakes occur at that moment
