Question

Why not all movement along faults produces earthquakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are only 4 types (Normal, Reverse, Strike-slip, Oblique-slip) of fault movements that cause earthquake.

Explanation:

There are four main types of faults that produces earthquakes:

• Normal faulting occurs where the crust is being pulled apart.

• Reverse faulting occurs where the crust is being compressed.

• Strike-slip movement occurs when crustal blocks move sideways past each other, usually along nearly-vertical faults.  

• An oblique slip comprises numerous groupings of these basic movements.

 Faults can be as short as a few meters and as long as 1000 km.

Answer 2

When the plates are moving, they go up against each other and go along each other and when a 'non-matched' piece comes, they hit causing an earthquake.<span />
