Volcanoes usually form on plate boundaries. They form because the plates push upward against each other forming a small hole where magma can come out from the mantle. (the small hole is the where the magma comes out of on top of a volcano). Earthquakes usually are at faults lines and fault lines are near the plate boundaries. Since volcanoes and earthquakes happen usually at plate boundaries, they mostly happen in the same area.

Why do earthquakes and volcanoes happen mostly in the same place?

Seismic activity triggers both earthquakes and volcano eruptions, so usually both happen along fault lines, which cause seismic activity. Answer 2: They occur in similar areas because of plate tectonics, (plates of the lithosphere). Since they move, when they crash together they cause earthquakes and create volcanoes, when the plates slide past each other they cause lots of earthquakes, and when they move apart magma from the earth's core creates a volcano and earthquakes happen along the fault lines.
