Question
Tectonic earthquakes are usually the result of movement along faults in the crust, expressed as release of energy which is then transmitted as seismic waves. How did most of that energy accumulate before its release? as plastic (ductile) strain in crustal rocks frictional heating during the fault movements O build-up of solar energy transmitted to the crust from wind and water waves (including tsunamis) O as elastic strain in crustal rocks O build-up of geothermal heat rising from the mantle and core

On a geologic map: if the contacts between sedimentary rock layers form a pattern of concentric circles or ovals, with the oldest unit in the center, and the dips are outward - the underlying structure is a(n): O monocline O basin anticline O dome O syncline
