Can you briefly describe the elastic rebound theory of earthquake?

The elastic rebound theory was developed by Harry Fielding Reid, an American geophysicist who was studying the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. He observed that points on the Earth's surface distant from the San Andreas fault had gradually moved prior to the earthquake whereas points on the surface directly on and around the fault had not. During the earthquake the points next to the fault zone which had originally been static had suddenly shifted to match up with the points at a greater distance from the locked fault zone. He concluded that this was due to the accumulation of elastic strain within the Earth's crust around the fault zone and that when the stress that caused this strain exceeded the strength of the rock mass or fault zone in the crust it suddenly ruptured. This caused the stored energy (termed elastic potential energy) to be released in one instant, causing an earthquake, and also meant that the rock mass around the fault zone that had originally been locked in position, snapped or rebounded to match the position of the rock mass at a greater distance from the fault. As such he coined the term "elastic rebound" to describe this phenomenon. Please see the related links for more information.


If there are two of the same results does it mean that it has reached the elastic limit?

well i think at least try it three or four more times to be sure but the elastic limit is when you can't do it any more


What term is used to describe the process of monitoring operating results and comparing actual results with the expected results?

What happens when the stress and strain of elastic deformation along tectonic plates reaches the breaking point?

This is known as faulting. As such, the broken surfaces are known as faults.

Does potential energy restrict movement?

There are many types of potential energy. If the potential energy in question is stored in the form of a stretched elastic band, then there is some type of movement that the elastic band will restrict. But if the energy is stored in an electric battery, then no restriction of movement results.


What event results in the pressure deflection called the dicrotic notch?

When the aortic semilunar valve snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valve closure.
