New cards

A

fault blocks are locked by friction

2
New cards

B

blocks deform/strain building up and storing elastic energy as stress increases

3
New cards

C

When stress becomes greater than the friction holding the rocks together, the rocks slip at the weakest point. Both sides of the fault move, releasing stored energy. This movement transfers stress along the fault, causing more slipping until most of the built‑up stress is released.

D

the deformed rocks rebound or snap back to their original undeformed shape
