The fault is what causes an earthquake by sliding together, making friction.
The 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, also known as the 1920 Gansu earthquake, occurred on the Haiyuan Fault. This fault is located in the Gansu province of China and is a major active fault in the region.
The 1964 earthquake in Alaska was caused by a megathrust fault associated with the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate. This type of fault is known as a megathrust or subduction zone fault.
The earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 occurred along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. This fault system runs through the southern part of the country and was responsible for the devastating earthquake.
The maximum amount of slip on a fault during an earthquake depends on various factors, including the fault's length, depth, and type of movement. In some cases, slip can range from a few centimeters to several meters. The largest recorded slip on a fault during an earthquake was during the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake in California, with up to 9 meters of horizontal displacement.
A fault in an immobilized state is called a "seismic slip." This occurs when there is stress accumulation along a fault that does not result in an earthquake, keeping the fault locked and immobile until it eventually releases as an earthquake.
No an earthquake is caused because in that certain area where the earthquake was , there was a fault line.
The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
The 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, also known as the 1920 Gansu earthquake, occurred on the Haiyuan Fault. This fault is located in the Gansu province of China and is a major active fault in the region.
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
San Andreas fault.
The San Francisco earthquake was caused by a rift in the San Andreas fault.
It is a THRUST fault The San Andreas Fault
No. The Valdivia earthquake was on a convergent boundary.
The 1964 earthquake in Alaska was caused by a megathrust fault associated with the subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is being pushed beneath the North American Plate. This type of fault is known as a megathrust or subduction zone fault.
