An earthquake may be classified as either tectonic or volcanic
Good Day
Earthquake is classified as volcanic earthquake when the origin is due to volcanic activity. Most of volcanic earthquake are not strong unlike tectonic tonic earthquake which can reach 9.0 magnitude. Tectonic earthquake are those occur along the plate boundaries, the focus will be in the middle of the lithosphere which can generate strong earthquake. When tectonic earthquake occur under the ocean, it may trigger to generate tsunamis.
Hope it helps....=)
