a) Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would no longer occur.
b) The Earth's surface would continue to change as usual.

footwall?

b) Reverse fault
c) Strike-slip fault
d) Transform fault

a) Constructing buildings near fault lines
b) Using flexible materials and strong foundation designs
c) Placing heavy objects on high shelves

activity?

b) It has no effect on earthquake occurrences.
