Earthquakes result w4. hen forces push tectonic plates along faults in Earthâs lithosphere. The buildup and release of stress along 5. inactive plate boundaries result in earthquakes. The most disastrous earthquakes occur along 6. divergent plate boundaries. The movement of rocks 7. in any direction along a fault results in an earthquake. A 8. normal fault forms where forces cause rocks to slide horizontally. Reverse9. faults form when forces pull rocks apart along a divergent plate
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
