Key Points

This review aims to explore the genetic mechanisms behind earthquakes, particularly focusing on non-tectonic origins and precursor phenomena.
Reviewed classic mechanisms of seismic causes and their advantages and disadvantages.
Introduced several non-tectonic earthquake mechanisms, emphasizing fluid implosion models and supporting evidence.
Highlighted a variety of earthquake mechanisms celebrated for causing seismic events.
Demonstrated that fluid implosion theories can reasonably explain multiple earthquake types and their precursors.
