How volcanic eruptions cause earthquakes?

Answer:
Volcanic eruptions don't cause earthquakes but they generally happen at the same time. For example at a destructive plate boundary when an oceanic plate is sub ducted beneath a continental plate , the friction causes an earthquake. As the plate heats up and the mantle's convection current pushes the magma up towards the crust, the magma explodes through the crust as a volcano .
