Question

5. Friction between the two sides of a fault keeps it from moving until the str
on the fault overcomes the friction, then the fault slips and creates
earthquake.
A. True
C. Maybe both.
B. False
D. It depends on the situation.​

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This release of energy causes intense ground shaking in the area near the source of the earthquake and sends waves of elastic energy, called seismic waves, throughout the Earth.

Answer 2

The following statement is (A) true.

Hint-

A tremor is brought about by an unexpected slip on a fault. The structural plates are in every case gradually moving, however, they stall out at their edges because of rubbing. At the point when the weight on the edge conquers the rubbing, there is a tremor that discharges energy in waves that move through the world's covering and cause the shaking that we feel.
