As the plates are forced against each other, they deform, and eventually they crush and fracture. The sudden fracture of the rock sends out a shock wave that causes the earths surface to shake. This is one way earthquakes can happen. Fault (斷層) Over millions of years the earths tectonic plates have been moving continuously and pushing against each other. These movements have forced them to deform producing mountains and valleys in the earths surface. Sometimes the rocky surface of the earth has just been bent and folded (Fig.1). Sometimes the movements have caused the rock to deform so much that they fracture. These fractures are called faults (Fig. 2). When the rock fractures, its sudden movement causes an earthquake as shock waves spread away from it. Faults in earthquake (斷層實例) This fence crossed the San Andreas Fault. In 1906, the fault ruptured causing the Magnitude 8.3 San Francisco Earthquake. The horizontal movement of the ground caused the fence to move by about 2 metres Causes (地震的成因) Earthquakes can be caused by natural events or human activities. Here are some of the different causes of eart
