Sagot :

Answer:

1. A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other.

2. Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake.

3. Strike-slip faults
