Question

An earthquake is a vibration of the Earth produced by a rapid release of energy. This vibration usually begins when

there is a build-up of stress in the Earth's crust resulting in
A)
tectonic plates buckling up.
Eliminate
B)
rift zones under the oceans.
C)
plate movement at fault lines.
D)
convection currents within Earth's magma.

Answer 1

C) plate movement at fault lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Earthquakes are vibrations that develop when there is a build-up of stress in the Earth's crust resulting in plate movement at fault lines. Most often, earthquakes occur at subduction zones.

Answer 2

I think it's C plate movement at fault lines
