Question

Which types of faults does not generate earthquakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

All the types of faults can generates earthquake

Explanation:

Fault in geology can be said to be a discontinuity in a volume of the rock or planar fracture across which there has been major scattering by the result of rock-mass movement.

We have three kinds of faults, they are;

1. Strip slip where the offset is predominantly horizontal, parallel to the fault trace

2. Dip slip where the offset is predominantly vertical and/or perpendicular to the fault trace

3. Oblique slip is the combining of the strike and dip slip.

All these type type of faults that is listed generates earthquakes.

Answer 2

Answer:

All types of faults generates earthquake

Explanation:

A fault is refers to a curved fracture in the rocks of the earth crust. It occurs when compressional and tensional forces causes displacement of the rocks on opposite side of the fracture. It is the fracture zone between two blocks of rocks. The energy released with rapid movements on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes. Basically, faults are crack in the earth's crust.
