What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
What are breaks along which movement has occurred?
fault
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is fault creep?
Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.

Why are the earthquakes and volcanic belts roughly the same?
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
