2 multiple choice 1 point
earthquakes are always found occurring on-
folds
zones of saturation
faults
karst topography
Brief Explanations
Earthquakes occur due to the sudden release of built-up stress along fractures in the Earth's crust. Folds are bent rock layers without sudden slippage, zones of saturation refer to water-bearing rock layers, and karst topography is formed by chemical erosion of soluble rocks—none of these directly cause or host earthquakes. Faults are the fractures where crustal movement and slippage happen, triggering earthquakes.
