Where do faults usually occur along?

Faults usually occur along tectonic plate boundaries, where the plates are constantly moving and interacting. The movement of these plates can create stress within the Earth's crust, leading to the development of faults. Additionally, faults can also be found in areas of high seismic activity, such as near volcanoes or in regions with a history of earthquakes.

Do earthquakes spread the earth apart?

Not necessarily. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along cracks in the Earth's crust called faults. There are three main types of fault, all of which can produce earthquakes. Normal faults usually occur where the crust is being pulled apart. Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, are usually found where sections of the crust are pushed together. Transform faults occur where sections of the crust slide past each other horizontally, neither pushing together nor pulling apart.

Why are thrust fault reverse faults and folds commonly found in the same place?

Thrust faults and reverse faults are essentially the same, the only difference being the angle: thrust faults have a shallow angle of 45 degrees or less from horizontal. Reverse (thrust) faults and folds usually indicate rock being compressed. In many cases folds develop along reverse faults as one fault block is dragged along another, with an anticline forming in the hanging wall.
