An earth tremor is an involuntary movement of earth surface caused by stress in the underground rocks, while earthquakes are the vibrations caused by rocks breaking under stress against an underground surface called a fault plane.

An earthquake would be seismic activity roughly registering around the magnitude of 4.0 and higher, and a tremor would be seismic activity less than a magnitude of 4.0.

In a sense, tremors are minor earthquakes.
