Explain how stress causes movement at faults (earthquakes).

SAT
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
5 0
Faults are places in the Earth's crust where different tectonic plates meet and grind against each other.  The tectonic plates continuously move extremely slowly, but at faults, there is great stress caused by this movement.  This is due to the friction between the two tectonic plates, which are usually moving in opposite directions. When this stress is released and the tectonic plates "allow" each other to move a little past each other, the resulting movement is what we like to call and earthquake.

lord [1]

Answer:

10.296

Explanation:

From point A to point B, the line goes 5 spaces to the left and 9 spaces down. You can use the Pythagorean theorem and solve for the c value. 5 squared is 25, 9 squared is 81, 25 + 81 = 106. The square root of 106 is approximately 10.296. Hope that helped
