Explain how movements along fults generate earthquakes​

Sagot :

KIMJISOYAIN

Answer:

Faults are blocks of earth's crust that meet together. Earthquakes occur when rock shifts or slips along fault lines Earthquakes generate waves that travel through the earth's surface. These waves are what is felt and cause damage around the epicenter of the earthquake.

Answer:

The friction across the surface of the fault holds the rocks together so they do not slip immediately when push sideways.Eventually enough stress builds up and the rock slip suddenly,releasing energy in waves that travel through the rock to cause the shaking we feel during an earthquake.
