4. How do faults generate earthquakes?
a. An earthquake occurs when faults snap and slip, resulting from a sudden release
of energy that travels in the form of waves.
b. Molten rock materials accumulate and go out along the fault producing earthquake.
C. Earthquakes are caused by the formation of volcanoes, due to the collision of
tectonic plates.
d. Molten rock materials cause the Earth's crust to spread, producing faults.

b. compression stress, normal stress, and tension stress
C. deformation stress, tension stress, and shearing stress
d. tension stress, compression stress, and shearing stress
