Match the LIST-I with LIST-II
| LIST-I Earthquakes | LIST-II Features |
|---|---|
| A. Volcanic Earthquake | I. due to sliding of rocks along a fault line |
| B. Collapse Earthquake | II. in areas of intense mining activity |
| C. Tectonic Earthquake | III. confined to areas of active valcanoes |
| D. Explosion Earthquake | IV. due to chemical or nuclear explosion |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
Volcanic earthquakes (A - III) accompany the movement of magma and are confined to belts of active volcanoes. Collapse earthquakes (B - II) occur when the roof of an underground mine caves in, so they are found in areas of intense mining.
Tectonic earthquakes (C - I), the commonest kind, are caused by the sliding of rock masses along a fault line, and explosion earthquakes (D - IV) are the tremors set off by chemical or nuclear explosions.
