Answer to Question 1

Where the rocks on the opposite side of a fault are on pieces of crust that are moving in different
directions, the rocks are initially locked in place by their strength and friction. The rocks do not move,
but they do deform. As the pressure builds, the strength of the rocks is eventually exceeded. They
rebound to their original shape, but the crust on either side of the fault has moved to a new location.



Answer to Question 2

An earthquake is the shaking or trembling of the ground caused by the sudden release of energy,
usually as a result of faulting, which involves the displacement of rocks along fractures. Aftershocks
occur after the main shock as the fault zone adjusts, and most are smaller than the main shock.
