Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are different because (tectonic, i.e. powerful) earthquakes are vibrations travelling through the Earth that are produced by the tectonic plates of the crust slipping past each other, whereas volcanic eruptions are (for the most part) simply molten crust needing to escape at the surface.
Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are alike because they both occur on planet Earth and (for the most part) result from plate tectonics.
