Answer:

C) Lithostatic pressure

Explanation:

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane.

In the Earth the pressure due to the weight of overlying rocks is a uniform stress and is referred to as confiningstress. If stress is not equal from all directions then the stress is a differential stress. Three kinds of differential stress occur. Shear stress, which result in slippage and translation.
