What are types of faults that can generate earthquakes.

1. Let’s Review!

2. 1. It is the sudden movement of the Earth, caused by the abrupt release of strain that has accumulated over a long period of time. Fault c. Epicenter Earthquake d. Focus

6. Earthquakes Vibration of the Earth produced by the rapid release of energy. ….. Massive energy!

7. How are faults generally described? Faults are boundaries between tectonic plates. Faults are locations that generate earthquakes. Faults are breaks in Earth’s crust with a displacement. Faults are raised portions of the ground after an earthquake.

8. Fault Parts 4. Using the illustration, Which is the focus that is the earthquake's underground point of origin or hypocenter?

9. D A B C

10. Fault Parts 5. It is the point on the earth’s surface immediately above where the earthquake occurs. Focus Epicenter Both A and B None of the Above

11. Fault Parts 6 . In the given illustration where does the fault lies?
