In the context of geology, a theory which explains the spread of energy throughout an earthquake is known as the elastic rebound theory. As reefs on opposing sides of a fault become subject to force and shift, they gain energy and gradually deface until their innate force is passed. In this way, the elastic rebound is comparable to what happens when we release a stretched rubber band.
three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.
