Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?

In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
