TYPES OF EARTHQUAKES
TECTONIC EARTHQUAKE- this types of quake is caused when strains in rocks masses are increased to a point where it is stronger than the strength of the rock masses. As a result, breakages takes place as the rocks are flung in the opposite directions.
VOLCANIC EARTHQUAKE- this is associated with volcanic activities. This quake results from a slip of rock mass near a volcano, which may be in part due to the heat of the magma.
COLLAPSE EARTHQUAKE- these are small quakes in the underground areas like a mine that could be caused by seismic waves from exploding rocks on the surface.
