Question
Which statement is not true of intraplate earthquakes? (Note "intraplate" means within the interior of the tectonic plate rather than along the boundary) O A Intraplate earthquakes are much less common than plate boundary earthquakes B. The New Madrid, Missouri, earthquakes of 1811-1812 were examples of intraplate earthquakes OC They may be caused by stresses originating at plate boundaries but transmitted across the plates OD Some intraplate earthquakes may be caused by rebound of the lithosphere caused by the removal of ice from glaciers since the last ice age. OE To date, the only known intraplate earthquakes have been relatively weak Energy is stored in rocks along a fault at the site of a future earthquake as what type of energy?
