60s - Q5
How do faults produce earthquake?
Molten rock materials accumulate and go out along the fault producing earthquake.
Tectonic plates collide forming volcanoes and causing earthquakes.
Magma and lava causes the ground to spread producing faults.
Energy from the inside the Earth makes the ground move, once friction is overcome, a fault slips producing earthquake.

30s - Q7
Arrange in the correct order of how earthquake is generated
ordering://Energy is produced and travels through waves that shakes the Earth’scrust|1: Blocks of crust collide with each other|2:Collision continues and stress starts to build up|3: The blocks of crust snaps from eachother|4
