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.
As for I only know, there's only earthquakes and volcanic eruptions...please help!

because there are some water through every world the world is broken up
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
Movement along the fault causes earthquakes; several thousand occur annually, although only a few are of moderate or higher magnitude.
