Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. For example, most earthquakes are along the edges of tectonic plates. This is where most volcanoes are too. However, most earthquakes are caused by the interaction of the plates not the movement of magma.

Most earthquakes directly beneath a volcano are caused by the movement of magma. The magma exerts pressure on the rocks until it cracks the rock. Then the magma squirts into the crack and starts building pressure again. Every time the rock cracks it makes a small earthquake. These earthquakes are usually too weak to be felt but can be detected and recorded by sensitive instruments. Once the Plumbing system of the volcano is open and magma is flowing through it, constant earthquake waves, called harmonic tremor are recorded (but not felt) Also Most earthquakes trigger Tsunami's So (Tectonic plates) is they key work for you :)

What are all the tectonic natural disasters?

Earthquakes (which make tsunamis), and volcanoes if you count them.


Are any natural disasters related?

Tsunamis are related to earthquakes in that earthquakes happen underwater, creating Tsunamis. Volcanoes are somewhat related to earthquakes in that some warning signs of volcanoes are tiny earthquakes, created by the movement of magma and the swelling of the volcano. Other than that, I don't think so.
