What are the differences among hybrid earthquake, hybrid earthquake swarm, volcano-tectonic earthquakes and tremors?

Hi reader,

The people at Montserrat have invented their own terminology. It is my best guess that all of the four terms that you mention are the same . . . . the people at Monserrat do not have a definitive way of distinguishing between earthquakes directly caused by magma (volcanic earthquake) and earthquakes caused by tectonic stress.

Sincerely,
