Faults are fractures in Earth's crust where significant displacement has occurred. They result from tectonic forces causing blocks of crust to move relative to each other.
congrats on reading the definition of faults. now let's actually learn it.
Tectonic Plates: Large sections of Earth's lithosphere that move and interact at their boundaries, causing geological activity.
Seismic Waves: Waves of energy that travel through Earth's layers as a result of earthquakes or other geological processes.
Epicenter: The point on Earth's surface directly above the focus where an earthquake originates.
