FAQ for Earthquake
2. Is there a correlation between a fault and an earthquake?
Surface ruptures are often seen after the occurrence of a huge earthquake. Whether it is the fault that initiates the earthquake or the earthquake that creates the fault is still an open question. However, faults are often found in the places where a huge earthquake releases energy.
