Answer to Question 1

Rocks are capable of storing energy, but when their strength is exceeded, they rupture and release the
stored energy. Most earthquakes are related to plate movements



Answer to Question 2

Seismographs detect, record, and measure the vibrations produced by earthquakes and create a record
called a seismogram. Modern seismographs have electronic sensors and record movements precisely
on computers.
