Question
Chapter 26, Problem 6RAT
To determine
The correct option for the statement "Earthquakes are primarily caused by".
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 6RAT
The correct option for the statement "Earthquakes are primarily caused by" is option (b).
Explanation of Solution
Vibration of sandy sediments does not have enough energy, which can cause an earthquake. The earthquake can not generate due to the expansion of the Earth's crust. The magnetic field of the Earth generates due to the
An earthquake is generated due to the sudden release of elastic energy in interlocked rocks in a fault.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement "Earthquakes are primarily caused by" is option (b).
