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.
