<em>Enormous faults inside the Earth's crust outcome from the activity of tectonic forces of the plates</em>, with the biggest forming the limits between the plates, for example, transform faults or subduction zones.

<em>Most earthquakes occur due to the energy released from the rapid movement on these faults.</em>
