Underground Earthquakes occur along fault lines. Volcanoes are all over the world but a good place to find one is in the Ring of Fire.
The distribution of volcanoes is worldwide, although they are usually perceived to only occur on Plate Boundaries (PBs). However this is not always the case. Sometimes they can occur on faults or ancient faults like Mount Etna, which is still active because the fault line it used to lie on still provides it with magma. Volcanoes can also be present at hotspots, for example, the volcanic Hawaiian Islands. However the largest and most lethal volcanoes are primarily on PBs, sometimes concentrated in a certain area, like the "Ring of fire" on the borders between the Pacific plate and the surrounding plates. These volcanoes often due to spreading ridges, causing gaps through which magma flows up. Volcanoes in this area usually follow earthquakes, which are even more frequent there than on faults
Earthquakes are caused by strike-slip faults, which are the grinding of two tectonic plates past each other. Volcanoes are commonly caused at convergent subduction zones causing volcanic arcs or sometimes island arcs. This is not the only case of volcano formation however. Mountains are formed at continental-continental convergent boundaries at the pushing upward of tectonic plates. This would be the only case of mountain building. That is how the Himalayas formed, and Mt. Everest is still actually inching higher every year.
Earthquakes are caused by the Earth's tectonic plates shifting against one another deep below the surface. These huge masses of rock are in constant motion, but they may lock into positions where they come into contact. When this stress is finally released, the sudden shift results in an earthquake.they start from movement fron the earths surfaceEarthquakes can happen anywhere, but are more likely in areas where the Earth's crustal "plates" are moving in relation to each other.Earthquakes are caused by shifts in the Earth's crust, and normally occur when rock layers move past each other along a boundary, or fault line. The surface of the land, or the sea floor, can move sideways, up, or down, and this displacement causes seismic waves to move outward, above and around the shift. The motion imparted by these waves is what generates the destructive power of an earthquake, and it can also create tsunamis in the sea.(For more information, see the related question.)Earthquakes are always happening somewhere.Worldwide, strong earthquakes happen more than once per month. Smaller earthquakes such as magnitude 2 earthquakes occur several hundred times a day. To create a mountain system might take several million medium sized earthquakes over tens of millions of years.Before you learn the answer, you must know the theory of plate tectonics.Scientists believe that Earth's crust is made up of many plates that float on the asthenosphere in the mantle. (the mantle is in the Earth) To keep the planet alive, Earth's core uses convection currents to spread heat. This is the theory.An earthquake happens when the convection current moves the plates a little. Anyway, the plates bump into each other and because there is limited space for the plates to move, the keep on building pressure on what it is pressing or bumping upon. When so much pressure builds up, I think it is called elastic rebound, happens and all the pressure is released in the form of seismic waves. That is the earthquake.So, basically, and earthquake happens when one plate collides into another and it sends seismic waves around that shake the ground.Earthquakes occur when there's movement of the tectonic plates of our Earth. Scientists are as yet not certain if volcanoes cause earthquakes or if earthquakes cause volcanoes, but they often occur together.+++This describes the effects of subduction, where one plate (usually of a closing ocean's floor) is being forced down below another. The earthquakes are the shock-waves from each slip forwards of the sinking plate. The accompanying volcanoes are of material from a mass of plate already partly-melted in the process. So neither volcano nor earthquake causes the other: both result from plate subduction.'Volcanoes themselves can produce minor, local tremors as rising magma prior to an eruption, expands them.
The difference between the epicentre and the focus of earthquakes is this:The focus of the earthquake is where the actual earthquake occurred and the epicentre is on the ground directly above the focus. The epicentre is used to say where the earthquake was in relation to places near where it occurred.Hope this helped :)

Pressure. Do a Google search on the relation between volcanoes and pressure, or even your question.
Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur at the dividing lines between sections of the Earth's crust as the sections move in relation to each other. The sections are called tectonic plates, and where they collide with each other it is called a fault or fault line.If two plates are unable to move easily past each other, pressure can build until it exceeds the friction between the plates. When a plate suddenly moves or slides, the energy release is felt as an earthquake on the surface.Volcanoes get their liquid rock (magma, or lava) from the melting of crustal material, usually as it is forced beneath another layer of crust into the hotter region called the mantle (the continents and other land masses "float" on a layer of dense liquid rock).

At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.

The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates - in the case of Earth, there are seven major and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at speeds of 50-100 mm/a.
In the center/middle of the plate.
The water beneath the Earth's crust plays a crucial role in geological processes. It helps in the movement of tectonic plates, lubricating their boundaries and facilitating the process of plate tectonics. This water also influences the formation of volcanoes and earthquakes, as it can be released during these events. Additionally, the presence of water underground can alter the properties of rocks and minerals, affecting the overall stability and composition of the Earth's crust.
At divergent boundaries, mid-ocean ridges are formed as tectonic plates pull apart. At converging boundaries, various geologic features are formed such as trenches, mountains, and volcanic arcs, depending on the type of plates involved (oceanic vs. continental).
