Solution

The earthquake belt of the world coincide with the distribution of volcanoes because both of the natural phenomenon are associated with the tectonic actives and where there is a volcano the energy released will definitely give rise to the earth quake,and where there is a earth quake there can be a volcano sometimes because during earth quake parts of earth gets dislocated which releases the pressure and hence melts the rocks due to already available temperature which in turn cause earth quake.
