In addition to tectonic plate movement, earthquakes can be caused by volcanic activity, where the movement of magma generates seismic waves. Induced seismicity, resulting from human activities like mining, reservoir-induced seismicity from large dams, and geothermal extraction, can also trigger earthquakes. Additionally, collapse earthquakes occur when underground cavities, such as caves or mines, collapse.
