14. Which of the following explain how movements along faults generate earthquake?
a. When the rocks along a fault, the stored elastic energy is released as seismic energy and passes through rocks.
b. When the rock material is compressed or stretched, it will break and there will be earthquake.
c. The stored energy in a fault is released as kinetic energy and material becomes permanently deformed creating seismic
waves.

people.
