Q: Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of which kind of energy stored in rock subjected to great forces? A. kinetic B. thermal C. elastic D. mechanical A: Most earthquakes are produced by the rapid release of Elastic energy stored in rock subjected to great forces. Log in to see more information.

This is so because the energy released in an earthquake, and thus its magnitude, is proportional to the area of the fault that ruptures and the stress drop. Therefore, the longer the length and the wider the width of the faulted area, the larger the resulting magnitude.
