    Question

    Select the incorrect statement.

    1. The majority of earthquakes occur at plate boundaries.    
    2. Most major earthquakes can be predicted several days in advance in terms of time and location.    
    3. Normal, reverse, and strike-slip faulting can all cause earthquakes.    
    4. P waves travel faster than S and surface waves.    

    hintHint:

    All types fault leads to earthquake

    The correct answer is: Most major earthquakes can be predicted several days in advance in terms of time and location.

      Normal faults occur when two plates, one on top of the other, slide past each other and create the fault.
      Reverse faults occur when one plate slides under the other, creating a vertical offset.
      Strike-slip faults happen when two plates move horizontally past each other.
      All these faults can create earthquake
