Question

earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of stress when pieces of the earths crust shift past each other along a fault. which of the following could be caused by this sudden shift or its associated earthquake? a. the collapse of a building b. the initiation of a tsunami c. the triggering of a landslide d. all of these

Explanation:

Earthquakes generate seismic waves that can destabilize man-made structures like buildings, causing collapse. Underwater crust shifts displace large volumes of water, initiating tsunamis. The ground shaking from earthquakes can also loosen soil and rock on slopes, triggering landslides. All listed events are known consequences of earthquakes.

Answer:

D. all of these
