WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EARTHQUAKE? Earthquakes occur because friction holds the rock masses on either side of the fault together, while plate motion slowly bends and stretches the rock, storing energy much like the energy stored in a stretched rubber band. An individual earthquake occurs when the stored energy becomes greater than the friction, and the rock masses suddenly slip along the fault. Much of the energy stored in the stretched rock is released in seismic waves, which travel out in all directions from the fault on which the earthquake occurred. To illustrate how bending an object can generate
