Earthquakes can occur at any time, since it's simply caused by shifting earth tectonics, and our earth is shifting at all times. This can be as frequent as some months, to several years. Volcanoes, on the other hand can occur every so many years, since it takes time for it to build pressure, and it usually is a combination between an earthquake helping it open to release magma. Also, a volcano eruption doesn't have to be like in the movies, where an entire village is leveled. Sometimes only a small amount of magma is released, and this can occur very frequently, depending if the volcano is known to be constantly active or not.
