Answer:

♥ Hope its helpful for you ♥

Explanation:

There are four different types of earthquakes: Tectonic, volcanic, collapse and explosion.

1)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.

2)A volcanic earthquake is any earthquake that results from tectonic forces which occur in conjunction with volcanic activity.

3)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.

4)An explosion earthquake is an earthquake that is the result of the detonation of a nuclear and/or chemical device.

Answer:

The distance between the beginning of the first P wave and the first S wave tells you how many seconds the waves are apart.This number will be used to tell you how far your seismograph is from the epicenter of the earthquake.There are many times of earthquake:

tectonic

volcanic

explosion

collapse

And mainly the types of earthquake depends on the region where it occurs and the geographical make up of that region.

hope this helps you...
