What is the theory that explains volcano eruptions and earthquakes?

Volcanic eruptions don't cause earthquakes but they generally happen at the same time. For example at a destructive plate boundary when an oceanic plate is sub ducted beneath a continental plate , the friction causes an earthquake. As the plate heats up and the mantle's convection current pushes the magma up towards the crust, the magma explodes through the crust as a volcano .

Does string theory negate the four fundamental forces?
String Theory does not negate the four fundamental forces, it explains them in another way.
What does the theory of plate tectonics help explain?
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.

What is a plate and what is the theory of plate tectonic?
The Plate Tectonic theory tells us that there are plates on which peices of sea/ land occurs. On these boundaries, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur the most.
Theory which explains volcanic and earthquake activity in terms of plate movements?
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
