Question

What happens when stress builds at faults? Select three options

Answer 1

Answer:

When Stress builds up at faults, the 3 options that are correct and can happen

- Rock can bend and break;

- Earthquakes develop at Earth's surface

- Forces affect Earth's rocks

Explanation:

This is a Geography question

- Rock can bend and break

When Stress builds up at faults, it leads to a geologic activity that causes a lot of pressure that lead to the movement of the earth's crust. The movement creates such intense pressure on the rocks, that, with time, they twist, bend, and break due to this pressure.

- Earthquakes develop at Earth's surface

As explained earlier, this intense pressure can lead to rocks breaking, as these rocks break inside the earth's crust, the gaps that come into play after the breaking of the rocks causes the remaining rocks to adjust, releasing a lot of force, and subsequently creating earthquakes.

- Forces affect Earth's rocks

As explained earlier, the forces resulting from these intense pressures, affect the earth's rocks. They move them both vertically and horizontally, change their shape and eventually break them.

Hope this Helps!!!
