Divergent tectonic plates cause both earthquakes and volcanoes.

Answer:

Earthquakes and volcanoes are both caused by tectonic plate boundaries, specifically divergent tectonic plate boundaries.

Step-by-step explanation:

The collision or movement of these plates can result in an earthquake, large or small, as well as causing the eruption of a volcano. It is not either or, but both.
