Question 5 the elastic rebound theory states that rocks elastically deform under the buildup of stress, leading to permanent folds rocks forming earthquakes undergo only brittle deformation earthquakes occur when the rock strength is exceeded, releasing elastic energy stored during elastic deformation earthquakes serve to "reset" earth deformation back to its previous unaltered state after an earthquake Question 6 Earthquakes don't always recur on the same interval because of which of the following (select all that apply) earthquakes never happen on the same fault more than once local rock strength can change the rate of buildup of stress on a rock may evolve differently an earthquake may release variable amounts of accumulated stress
