<u>Answer:</u>

Fault rupturing by the earthquake is largely governed by the Elastic rebound theory. In geology, the elastic rebound theory is an explanation of how energy is released during an earthquake. It explains that as rocks on opposite side of the fault are subjected to some force and shift.

They gather energy and deform slowly unless their internal strength increases causing a sudden movement occurs along the fault. This results in the releasing of the accumulated energy and rocks move back to their original but unreformed shape.

Which area is it likely to find the most population in
n200080 [17]

The correct answer is - an urban area.

The urban areas have the largest populations, and they are also by far the most densely populated areas. Unlike the suburban areas that are medium sized, and where the people mostly live in houses, or in the rural areas where the people live in houses that further away from one another, the people in the urban areas tend to live mostly in buildings. The buildings are very high, and they can accommodate thousands of people in them, resulting in a very high density of the population. The urban areas are also the most developed, they are the biggest settlements, and the people tend to move toward them in order to get better life and opportunities, resulting in an ever growing urban population.
