Chapter 11 Earthquakes. Section 1 Forces Inside Earth A.When rocks break they move along faults. 1.Applied forces cause rocks to undergo elastic deformation.
Earthquakes. An Earthquake is… the shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth's surface The movement of Earth's plates.
Earthquakes. Types of Stress Stress: a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. – Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock.
TOPIC 2: How does the challenge of predicting hazards differ between earthquakes
