An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called a A) fault. B) epicenter. C) foreshock. D) tectonic plate.
Answer:
Fault
Explanation:
The answer is fault because.... A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. Faults have no particular length scale.
