They are both caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Plate tectonics is considered to be a unifying theory because a consensus finds it to be true. Most scientists believe the plate tectonics cause volcanoes and earthquakes.
Volcanoes are caused by the magma from the Earth's mantle; this magma is released through faults in the Earth's tectonic plates.
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 .
The theory is called the Continental Drift Theory. That means that over a long period of time the continents shifted away from each other and formed the earth that we see today. The continents are able to shift and move because they lie on tectonic plates, which are sub-layers that move and float. Tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanoes.
Romania hasn't a special theory on earthquakes.

earthquakes and volcanoes Do you know how to explain the theory of the continental drift?
Plate tectonics explain earthquakes and volcanoes so does the theory of continental drift.
Earthquakes, volcanoes, canyons, mid-ocean ridges, mountain ranges and so on and the results of plate tectonics.
Volcanoes usually occur along the line where two plates meet.
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
theory of plate tectonics
the theory explains how Earth's plates form and move. it also explains how plates interact ,producing volcanoes,mountain range ,earthquakes,and featurs of the ocean floor
The theory of plate tectonics helps to explain how earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur.
Continental drift, sea floor spreading, glacial striation, jigsaw fit of the continents, geological matches on different contintents (such as type of rock or fossil found) ,earthquakes, and volcanoes led to the theory of plate tectonics.
