A tort is a civil right that arises from a civil wrong. As such, tort law is applied when one party acts in a manner that causes for loss to be suffered by a second party, who then have a right under common law to seek compensation (not necessarily monetary) from the first party due to their actions or omissions. The four main areas of tort law (based on AUSTRALIAN legal principles) are Nucience, Negligence, Defamation and Tresspass.
Negligence is where a duty of care to a party has been breached by a second party
Nucience is where a party interrupts the right of another party to quiet enjoyment of their property
Defamation is the tort that covers a persons implied right to a good reputation
Tresspass refers to the right of a person to private enjoyment of their property (i'm pretty sure)
I am unsure wether this is the same in the country where you are, but these are the four civil torts that apply in Australia. Please check before using this information
