Discussion
Arrange the stages of the earthquake cycle in the correct order.
1. Sudden rupture and release of energy 2. Gradual accumulation of elastic strain 3. Aftershock adjustment 4. Renewed strain accumulation
Answer: D
Correct answer: 2, 1, 3, 4
The elastic rebound cycle begins with the gradual accumulation of strain as the plates move while the fault stays locked. When friction is overcome the fault ruptures suddenly and the strain is released. Aftershocks then adjust the stresses around the rupture over weeks to years, and the cycle begins again as strain reaccumulates for the next event.
