Question

Why not all movement along faults produces earthquakes?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are only 4 types (Normal, Reverse, Strike-slip, Oblique-slip) of fault movements that cause earthquake.

Explanation:

There are four main types of faults that produces earthquakes:

• Normal faulting occurs where the crust is being pulled apart.

• Reverse faulting occurs where the crust is being compressed.

• Strike-slip movement occurs when crustal blocks move sideways past each other, usually along nearly-vertical faults.  

• An oblique slip comprises numerous groupings of these basic movements.

 Faults can be as short as a few meters and as long as 1000 km.

Answer 2

All movement along faults does not produces earthquakes because:

• There are different types of faults which causes eqrthquakes

According to the given question, we are asked why all movements along faults does not produce earthquakes when triggered.

As a result of this, we can see that there are four main types of faults which has different effects on the topography of the earth and they are:

• Normal fault
• Reverse fault
• Strike-slip fault
• Oblique-slip fault

With this in mind, we can see that there are different effects which these faults have and that is why all movement along the faults cannot produce an earthquake because some of them are not just enough to cause an earthquake.
