The two are only related by their tectonic origin. They are alike only in that they cause destruction and can be triggered by earthquakes.
A volcano is a landform, often a mountain, created by the upwelling of liquid rock (magma) through cracks in the Earth's crust. Earthquakes can cause eruptions, or be caused by eruptions, when lava, steam and ash are released from underground.
A tsunami is a large wave, usually in the ocean, that is created by a movement in the ocean crust: moving the ocean floor. This is typically accompanied by an earthquake, both the quake and tsunami centered on the same area.
