With a volcanic eruption, magma (which is hot, melted rock) is rising from the deeper layers of the Earth, and pours out on the surface. There can be an explosion, as a result of the heat (especially if there is also water present on the surface). With an earthquake, the ground moves. This does not involve a release of magma. The ground moves, things fall down. If the earthquake happens underneath the ocean, there can be a large, destructive wave as a result.
