They both happen along the lithosphere (tectonic) plates. For Volcanoes- The Ring of Fire, which is where most of the volcanoes in the world happen, is along tectonic plate boundaries. For Earthquakes- Faults (cracks in the Earth's crust) form above the tectonic plates, and when the two plates of the fault slip, it releases energy, and causes an earthquake to happen.
