âIâve never had a birthday party.â. âWhile my wife and I were walking from the swimming pool to the cafeteria, I was complaining and moaning about it being at such an exhausting camp. I was really upset because my birthday was coming up that Thursday, while we were at camp (I would turn 26).
Actually, the places experiencing the most frequent earthquakes are the places where the earth plate structure is located. This structure is known to be the most potential cause. You may not be familiar with this plate structure but do not be shocked because it is a huge area size located underneath the ground.
Ans: Earthquakes occur on faults - strike-slip earthquakes occur on strike-slip faults, normal earthquakes occur on normal faults, and thrust earthquakes occur on thrust or reverse faults. When an earthquake occurs on one of these faults, the rock on one side of the fault slips with respect to the other. The fault surface can be vertical, horizontal, or at some angle to the surface of the earth. The slip direction can also be at any angle.
