Where and why do earthquakes occur? - ANSWER-Earthquakes occur along plate boundaries and faults due to rocks underground breaking along a fault Are faults the same as plate boundaries? - ANSWER-No; Faults are cracks in rocks/plates, and plate boundaries are where the plates end (Plate boundaries are all faults, but not all faults are plate boundaries - most are not) What are the major types of seismic waves? Which travels fastest? Which causes most damage? - ANSWER-P and S waves. S waves ...
