QUESTION:
HOW DO FAULTS PRODUCE EARTHQUAKES?
 •Isa break
intheEarth’scrust,
and along the
FAULTS break, significant
movement has
takenplace.
ANATOMY/PARTSOFAFAULT
THREE TYPES
OF FAULT
 • Isa vibrationor tremorsof the
Earthduetotherapidreleaseof
energy.
• The place where the Earthquake
starts is called focus, along the
fault plane

EARTHQUAKES
• Thespot onthesurfaceof the
Earth that isdirectlyabovethefocusis
called the epicenter.
•Thestrength/energy of an
earthquakeiscalledmagnitude.
• Thestrengthof themovement of
an earthquake(howstrong or
weak is theshaking)
iscalledtheintensity.
