'it happens because of human being's.it is caused by global warming' is an ever more popular explanation.
but if your looking for a scientificly proven answer then read on.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are caused by the build up of pressure in the earths core,
to stop its self from gradually expanding till it bursts over mllions of years it has to release the pressure, one way it does this is through volcanoes where the gases from within the earth get shot out sometimes it picks up magma on its way up btus causing a lavial eruption.
Earthquakes are a result of gases squeezing up through the rocks till they reach the tectonis plates after a while so manny gases build up that the manage to get through the gaps between tectonic plates this can have such power that it moves the plate causing it to collide with a neighbouring plate at what is called a fault line this causes violent vibrations on the tectonic plate that has been hit tus causing the earthquake.

Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
Are the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes similar?
Yes they areBecause if there is going to be a volcano eruption then there will be certain depth of earthquake which will cause the earth surface tear apart and there is volcano.
What are the changes in the earth's structure that causes earthquakes?
Tectonic plates on The Earth move which causes earthquakes. If 1 plate collides with another it can form hills, volcanoes and/ or mountains. If the earthquake occurs in water, it can cause tsunamis.
Can the earth open if an earthquake occur?
Yes, there are possibilities of the Earth opening during an Earthquake.
Why there are volcanoes mountain ranges and earthquake in the crust?
Volcanoes and earthquakes are both the result of what is known as plate tectonics; the Earth's crust is composed of a number of large pieces known as plates, which float on the underlying magma of the mantle, and which slowly drift, and collide with each other. Volcanoes are also related to currents in the magma which can break through the crust even aside from the phenomenon of continental drift.
What do volcanoes do before an earthquake?
they don't' do anything earth quake are what provoke them to erupt
Where do volcanoes and earthquake's locate?
volcanoes are in many places 1:on the earth 2:on neptune 3:under the sea and on jupiter'earthquakes are movements when the earth has a crake in the core
Can volcanoes form because of an earthquake?
Not really. Earthquakes can and do occur when a volcano is forming, but the volcano is not a result of an earthquake. Volcanoes are formed when magma (molten rock) within the earth's crust reaches the surface.
Is a volcano an earthquake?
Volcanoes can cause earthquakes when the magma & gases punch through the Earth crust.
Why are volcanoes and earthquakes found together?
The majority of earth's volcanoes and earthquakes occur near the boundaries of tectonic plates. Therefore, an area that has volcanoes is likely to be prone to earthquake as well.
Why more earthquake in japan?
Because there are more volcanoes which bursts when our earth becomes warm and losses the atmospheric oxygen content.
What are the good effects of Earthquake?
An earthquake can be good because in a destructive plate boundary an earthquake occurs and on the borderlines of the earthquake volcanoes will form and when these volcanoes erupt, they provide nutrients to the soil and the ashes provide minerals that are beneficial to the plant. Also when the magma from the volcano irrupts, some of the magma will flow into the sea which will then create new land. An earthquake can also form mountains and rivers which make the earth look beautiful. If earthquakes did not happen then the earth would look like the moon or planets that are just a rock with no rivers or mountains. These are positive effects of and earthquake which are also beneficial to the earth.
Where two of the earth plates split apart?
At the boundry of two tectonic plates, you get volcanoes, earthquake epicentres and ( if its under the ocean) tsunamis.
Are volcanoes formed when tectonic plates are moving?
When the tectonic plates cause earthquake, it creates a crater in earth. This opening can lead to a volcano.
Why do volcanoes kill fewer people than earthquake?
Because Volcanoes love people
Why earthquake and volcanoes appear in generalized belts around the planet?
The belts are lines where the plates of the earth's crust move against each other.
Do earthquakes cause volcanoes?
When a volcano erupts and your near it you can feel the earth moving so you think its an earthquake but pretty soon you can see the smoke. Now when your far away depending on how strong the movement was you might feel some shaking.
