The elastic rebound theory of earthquake origin was proposed by

  • A.Beno Gutenberg
  • B.H. F. Reid
  • C.Charles Richter
  • D.Giuseppe Mercalli

Answer: B

Reid explained the 1906 San Francisco earthquake by rock on either side of a fault deforming elastically until it snapped back to an unstrained position. Richter and Mercalli gave their names to scales, and Gutenberg worked on magnitude-frequency statistics.
