1 Do Earthquakes Always Occur on Faults? The Great California ShakeOut

2 NO Caused by sudden release of energy Tectonic earthquakes are focused on a fault Induced seismicity Volcanism The Great California ShakeOut

3 Earthquakes caused by the movement of magma through the earth’s crust Magma releases energy that causes shaking Mount St. Helens Erupting Volcanism The Great California ShakeOut

4 Induced Seismicity Extraction of fossil fuels or ground water Reservoirs Mining Geothermal energy The Great California ShakeOut
