ground shaking
It produce tremors that occur before or after an explosion. It is relatively not common unlike tectonic earthquake.
Volcanic eruption

after shock
ground shaking
It is also known as “mine burst”. Underground mining usually produced a tremor that can be felt on earth’s surface.

Induced landslide
Induced Ground Subsidence
A large wave in the ocean, usually cause by underwater volcanic eruption,earthquake,or coastal landslide
tsunami
explosion earthquakes
Induced landslide
Induced Ground Subsidence
An observant person can sense a tsunami coming that by assessing the following:
Feel severe tremor
See high water surge
Hear a bizarre howl
Hear sizzling sounds

Tsunami Preparedness Checklist:
Prepare and make a disaster supply kit and have a family plan.
Readiness and awareness may protect you.
Everyone in your household should know what to carry out if tsunami arises.
Ready for the aftershocks and follow your school/work place emergency plan or instructions of the person in charge.
Measures that can be taken DURING an earthquake:
Do deep breathing exercise and stay safe and calm.
Up against a wall near the center of the building or stand in a doorway.
No matter what, stay away from power lines, broken lines, and using candles, matches
or any flame are prohibited.
Determine the elevation of your street above sea level and the expanse of your street from the shoreline.
Earthquake safety checklist:
Arrange your heavy furniture, water tanks, and gas tank in a lower ground.
Teach each member of the family how to use the emergency equipment.
Family members should be familiar in turning off gas tank, water valve and electricity.
Everyone in your household should know what to carry out if tsunami arises.
