There are four basic licenses. The first general one is CC by-, or attribution. In this license, the individual grants other users the ability to use the work and modify and build upon it and even make money off it as long as they give you credit for it.
The second is the attribution share alike license. This one is that someone can use your work and modify and tweak if they want, but they have to give you credit and also license all of their works with the exact same license that you used.
The third type is the Attribution, no derivatives license. In this particular one, individuals may distribute and share your work, but they cannot change it in any way.
Fourth, the attribution non commercial license allows others to use and modify your work, but they cannot make money off it, and they must attribute the work to you.
The next one is attribution, noncommercial, share alike. This one says that others must attribute you in the remix or derivative work, but they must not make money off it and they must license it in the same way you licensed your work.
The last one is the attribution noncommercial no derivatives. In this license, the user can send your exact work out to others or link it to you, but they may not make money and they may not make changes to your work.
In the list of these licenses, they move from least restrictive to most restrictive.

You start out saying there are four licenses, then list six. ;)
"This one (CC BY-SA) is that someone can use your work and modify and tweak if they want, but they have to give you credit and also license all of their works with the exact same license that you used."
Watch your language at the end of this sentence. It doesn't require the user to licenses "all their works" with exactly the same license, only all the derivatives they produce from the BY-SA licensed resource. (4)
