The main difference lies in their cause, size, and frequency: tectonic are most common and strongest, volcanic tend to be local, collapse are small and specific to certain areas, and explosions are human-made.

Information from seismometers around the world is sent to data centers, where experts analyze it to pinpoint the earthquake’s location, type, depth, and magnitude. This process is called “logging” or recording earthquakes, and it helps track seismic activity globally.

-								An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the Earth’s surface, triggered by a rapid release of energy deep underground.
-								This usually happens because the Earth’s outer shell, called the crust, is made up of large pieces known as
-								tectonic plates. These plates are always moving, but sometimes they get stuck at their edges; when stress builds
-								up and is finally released, it causes the ground to shake—an earthquake. Earthquakes can vary greatly in size—from
-								barely noticeable tremors to powerful quakes capable of causing widespread destruction. There are several types:
-								Tectonic, Volcanic and Collapse earthquakes. Understanding why and how earthquakes happen helps scientists predict
-								where they are most likely to occur and how to lessen their impact.
