Answer (1)

Answer:An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy along fault lines due to tectonic plate movements. Common hazards include ground shaking, surface rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. The nearest fault system depends on your location. For example, the San Andreas Fault in California and the West Valley Fault in the Philippines are major fault lines in those areas. Understanding these risks helps in preparedness for potential disasters.
