- Hydro-earthquake. A type of earthquake caused by water seeping into fractures in the Earth's crust. This can occur when a large volume of water is released from a reservoir or when a river or lake floods. Hydro-earthquakes are typically small, but they can be felt by people living in the area.
- Mud-triggered earthquake. A type of earthquake caused by volcanic eruptions or landslides that displace a large amount of mud. This can cause the ground to shake and cause damage to buildings and infrastructure.
- Tsunamigenic earthquake. An earthquake that generates a tsunami. Tsunamigenic earthquakes are typically large and occur offshore. They can cause widespread damage to coastal communities.
