Coals are formed by burial and metamorphosis of peat deposits. In this process, many of the volatiles are driven off, and left is a 'pure' carbon.

Earthquakes are caused mainly by the movement of tectonic plates.

Volcanoes are caused by the eruption of magma from the mantle.

So volcanoes are associated mainly with the movement of tectonic plates; but not vice versa.

Anthracite has little to do with either.
