Lately many earthquakes, especially in the whole world. Maybe you've heard the news about the earthquake, but do you know the cause of the earthquake? And whether it's an earthquake? Earthquakes are a shock / vibration that occurs in the Earth's surface caused by the release of energy from the earth suddenly. To determine the size of the earthquake used gauges called seismometer. Types of earthquakes can be distinguished on various grounds.

Based on The cause Earthquake Happen
Earthquake Tectonics
Tectonic earthquakes are caused by their activities and the movement of tectonic plates shift suddenly. Earthquakes of this type is the most earthquake damage. For example, as the earthquake in Yogyakarta and earthquake in Aceh.

Earthquake Volcanic
Earthquakes are the result of volcanic activity of lava / magma in the bowels of the earth, usually occurs before the volcano erupted. When the activity is higher, the mountain will erupt accompanied by the occurrence of earthquakes.

Based on Depth
Earthquake In
Earthquakes in that earthquake has hiposentrum located on over 300 km below the earth's surface. Hiposentrum also called Earthquake Center is a point source of the earthquake was in the earth which is the epicenter of the earthquake. Point on the Earth's surface directly above the so-called epicenter hiposentrum / epicenter.

Earthquake Medium
An intermediate earthquake earthquake that has hiposentrum located at 60 Km to 300 km below the earth's surface.

Shallow Earthquake
Shallow earthquakes are earthquakes that have hiposentrum is less than 60 Km.The smaller the hiposentrum the greater will be the damage caused by the earthquake.
Based Earthquake Waves
Primary waves
Primary wave or longitudinal wave is a wave that propagates in the body of the earth with a velocity of between 7 to 14 km / sec.
Primary wave or longitudinal wave is a wave that propagates in the body of the earth with a velocity of between 7 to 14 km / sec.
Secondary waves
Secondary waves or transverse waves are waves that propagate as primary waves, but the flow speed is reduced, the which is 4 to 7 km / sec.
