Correct Answer: Faults


Solution : The correct option is Faults.

Sudden movement along Earth's fault lines causes earthquakes. The motion releases "elastic strain" energy accumulated in the form of seismic waves, which travel through the Earth and cause the Earth to tremble. Such movement on the faults typically results from stress building and long-term deformation.
