Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. ... During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again.

✫Tectonic Earthquakes

  • Earthquakes caused by plate tectonics are called tectonic quakes.

  • They account for most earthquakes worldwide and usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.Induced

✫ Earthquakes

  • Induced quakes are caused by human activity, like tunnel construction, filling reservoirs and implementing geothermal or fracking projects.

✫Volcanic Earthquakes

  • Volcanic quakes are associated with active volcanism.

  • They are generally not as powerful as tectonic quakes and often occur relatively near the surface.

  • Consequently, they are usually only felt in the vicinity of the hypocentre.

✫Collapse Earthquakes

  • Collapse quakes can be triggered by such phenomena as cave-ins, mostly in karst areas or close to mining facilities, as a result of subsidence.
