Tsunamis can be triggered by undersea earthquakes, especially those near subduction zones where tectonic plates collide. Volcanic activity can also be linked to earthquakes when magma movement or pressure causes the surrounding rock to fracture and release seismic energy.
(this is not the best answer but) the tectonic plates are moving into or away from each other and when they do, it creates an earthquake.
