How+Earthquakes+Form

=Earthquakes=

==When a rock goes through a lot of stress and the rock is brittle then sometimes it can go through a type of brittle stress called faults. These faults can sometimes becomed locked meaning the two pieces of that are faulting are locked in their positions unable to move. This can collect thousands of years worth of energy from all the stress being forced on it. Until eventually the rock can not take the stress and ruptures thousands of years worth of energy is released then the rock goes back to its original form which is called elastic rebound, this release of energy causes seismic waves to form and creates earthquakes and the sismic waves may even create tsunamis as well.==
