An earthquake is ______.
Group of answer choices
a fracture on which movement has occurred
an accumulation of stress due to strain
a large-scale tectonic force
a collision between two tectonic plates
a release of energy as seismic waves
Answer to Q: d) A release of energy as seismic waves.
As per the Elastic Rebound Theory, the blocks of lithosphere are in continuous motion and there are some discontinuities called as faults along which such movements occur. Whenever some blocks get locked and undergo strain. This strain keeps on accumulating proportional to the stress. If there is an increased in strain such that the stress is greater than the shear strength of locked blocks, the fault ruptures in the form of an earthquake releasing seismic waves.

Materials fracture when the force per unit area, called STRESS, exceeds a critical value. In general, the critical stress depends on the direction as well as the magnitude of the force. For example, bones break differently when subjected to torsional (twisting) stress than when subjected to compressional (or squeezing) stress. Let us consider compressional stress. Wet human bone for 20-39 year olds has an ultimate compressive strength of 1.6x104N/cm2 [8]. Consider a person who falls from a height to the...
