How do faults produce earthquakes?

• Energy from inside the Earth makes the ground move, once friction is overcome, a fault slips producing an earthquake.

• Rock materials from underneath go out along faults produces earthquakes

• Magma spreads beneath the rock layers producing faults.

• Tectonic plates collide producing earthquakes.

It is where first movement occur. It is the origin of the earthquake.
