    Most natural earthquakes are caused by sudden slippage along a fault zone. Slippage along a fault is hindered because there are irregularities on a fault phase and most earthquakes are governed by a theory called? 

    • Sheer/ Stress Theory

    • Elastic Rebound Theory

    • Ground Elasticity Theory

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Elastic Rebound Theory
    Explanation
    Most natural earthquakes are caused by sudden slippage along a fault zone. This slippage is hindered by irregularities on a fault phase. The theory that governs most earthquakes is the Elastic Rebound Theory. This theory explains that stress builds up along a fault line as tectonic plates move, causing the rocks to deform elastically. Eventually, the stress becomes too great and the rocks rupture, releasing the stored energy in the form of an earthquake. The Elastic Rebound Theory provides a comprehensive explanation for the occurrence of earthquakes due to fault slippage.
