**Question 5** The elastic rebound theory states that - ( ) rocks elastically deform under the buildup of stress, leading to permanent folds - ( ) rocks forming earthquakes undergo only brittle deformation - (●) earthquakes occur when the rock strength is exceeded, releasing elastic energy stored during elastic deformation - ( ) earthquakes serve to “reset” earth deformation back to its previous unaltered state after an earthquake **Question 6** Earthquakes don't always recur on the same interval because of which of the following (select all that apply) - ( ) earthquakes never happen on the same fault more than once - ( ) local rock strength can change - ( ) the rate of buildup of stress on a rock may evolve differently - ( ) an earthquake may release variable amounts of accumulated stress
