Types of earthquake

Earthquakes can be classified in several ways based on different criteria, including their causes, geological features, and effects. Here are some of the primary types of earthquakes: 1. **Tectonic Earthquakes**: - **Subduction Zone Earthquakes**: Occur at convergent plate boundaries where one plate is being pushed under another. - **Transform Fault Earthquakes**: Occur at transform boundaries where two plates slide past each other.
