Faults

● A fault is a fracture or break in


Earth’s crust where
earthquakes are most likely to
occur repeatedly.

● It forms when the rocks of the


crust are compressed or
stretched by plate movement.
Due to the brittleness of the
rocks, they break along areas
where they are weak.

Displaced rice fields (Digdig Fault) July 16, 1990


The force applied to rocks is
Fault Movements called stress.

Tensional Compressional
Rocks are stretched Rocks are pushed
away from each other toward each other

03

Shear
Rocks are pushed
perpendicular to the
axis

What is the relationship of faults and earthquakes?
Vocabulary
Fault: A fracture in the rocks that make up the Earth’s crust
Epicenter: The point at the surface of the Earth above the focus
Plates: Massive rocks that make up the outer layer of the Earth’s
surface and whose movement along faults triggers earthquakes
Seismic waves: Waves that transmit the energy released by an
earthquake
Focus (Hypocenter): The point within the Earth where an
earthquake rupture starts
Types of Earthquake based on Depth of Focus
What is Tsunami?
Recording Earthquakes
