Answer 1

Answer:

Earthquake, any sudden shaking of the ground caused by the passage of seismic waves through Earth’s rocks. Seismic waves are produced when some form of energy stored in Earth’s crust is suddenly released, usually when masses of rock straining against one another suddenly fracture and “slip.” Earthquakes occur most often along geologic faults, narrow zones where rock masses move in relation to one another.

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
