question 14

Multiple Choice

Earthquakes along the San Andreas fault zone,for example,are repetitive-they reoccur in roughly the same regions over and over again-separated by decades or centuries because ________.

• A)there are areas that are weak and always break when small amounts of energy are applied to them
• B)stress continues to build up all the time and when it is great enough to overcome friction there will be an earthquake and then the process will start over again
• C)faults are always moving or creeping so an earthquake will occur whenever two sides meet that have the right properties for an earthquake
• D)plate boundaries move at regular rates so the interactions across plate boundaries are predictable and regular
