There are four different types of earthquakes: Tectonic, volcanic, collapse and explosion.
- A tectonic earthquake is one that occurs when the earth's crust breaks due to geological forces on rocks and adjoining plates that cause physical and chemical changes.
- A volcanic earthquake is any earthquake that results from tectonic forces which occur in conjunction with volcanic activity.
- A collapse earthquake are small earthquakes in underground caverns and mines that are caused by seismic waves produced from the explosion of rock on the surface.
- An explosion earthquake is an earthquake that is the result of the detonation of a nuclear and/or chemical device.
