✫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.
