Answer:

Some, but not all, earthquakes are related to volcanoes. ... 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.
