Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Tectonic plate movement on Earth causes both earthquakes and volcanoes to occur. Both of these result from the Earth's core's heat and energy escaping. Volcanic eruptions can be caused by earthquakes when tectonic plates are moving violently. Additionally, vibrations created by the flow of magma or other fluids within the volcano lead long-period earthquakes to have volcanic causes. Small earthquakes are caused when the system experiences an increase in pressure that causes the surrounding rock to break.
