What is active and inactive faults?
Active faults can generate earthquakes and represent sources of seismic energy. Inactive faults can no longer generate earthquakes but did so in the past. +++ They can, but really the earthquake is the effect of the movement on the fault, so not the defining mechanism. ' An active fault is one still moving (albeit usually in small, irregular steps over millions of years); an inactive fault is stable. If a new phase of tectonic stresses arrive, an inactive fault can be 're-activated', in many cases with the movement in the opposite direction. A fault is a fracture with displacement, and that movement is of the rock on one side of the fault-plane across the other.
What is fault elevation?
Elevation can impact how active an earthquake fault is. Studies have shown that the higher in altitude a fault line is, the more active the fault line is.
