A passive continental margin is not tectonically active, meaning it does not experience significant geological activity like earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. In contrast, an active continental margin is located near a tectonic plate boundary, leading to geological activity such as subduction zones, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
One type of fault that causes earthquakes is a strike-slip fault, where two blocks of rock move horizontally past each other. This movement can result in sudden releases of energy that cause the ground to shake.
Tectonic stress causes most earthquakes. This stress is generated as tectonic plates move and collide with each other, building up pressure that is eventually released as an earthquake. Other types of stress, such as volcanic or anthropogenic activities, can also trigger earthquakes in specific circumstances.
