Types of Earthquake
Tectonic Earthquakes :-
They are the most popular earthquakes observed all over the world, these are generated due to the sliding of Rocks along a fault plane.

Volcanic Earthquakes:-
An exceptional class of tectonic earthquakes is sometimes recognized as a volcanic earthquake. However, these are restricted to areas of active volcanoes.

Collapse Earthquakes:
In the areas of intense mining activity, sometimes the roofs of underground mines collapse generating minor tremors. These are termed collapse earthquakes.They are small earthquakes in underground caverns and mines that are caused by seismic waves produced

from the explosion of rock on the surface.
Explosion Earthquakes
Ground shaking may also happen due to the explosion of chemical or nuclear devices. Such tremors are called explosion earthquakes.
