Question

Earthquakes are usually associated with _____. (1 point). violent weather. faults. large cities. the east coast of North America

Answer 1

faults

Step-by-step explanation:

• A fault is the most common cause of the earthquakes and there are thus fractured zones of the earth's crust and the cause the part of the earth to move.

• Such as the pacific ring of fire and the mid-Atlantic ridges acts as a fault zone for the occurrence of the tectonic movement and thus the displacement of the rocks takes space.

• The epicenter of the earthquake and their depth are all estimated by the basis of the rocks, there type fo the magnitude and the type of the movement produced by the faults that are the weakest zone of the release of the earthquake energy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is faults.

Faults are the most common cause of earthquakes. Faults are basically fractures along the Earth's crust which causes part of the crust (where we live) to move. Earthquakes are caused when there is a sudden slip in a fault. Faults are commonly found on parts of the Earth where plates shift and move direction.
