U just got trolled:) haha
earthquakes are likely
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
Horizontal faults can be refered to as lateral faults or strike-slip faults.
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
foul

seismic waves
seismic waves
Yes, seismic waves are the result of energy released by the movement of rocks along faults.

Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.

Fault lines are caused by differential or shear movement, when fault lines slip rapidly energy is released causing an earthquake.
When energy builds up in a fault line, eventually it will overcome the friction that prevents the plates from moving, and the plates will move, producing an earthquake.
