the following keep the rocks from slipping past each other?
A. Energy B. Force C. Friction D. Inertia

______6. It is the so called “intensity” of an earthquake.


A. It is a number (written as a Roman numeral) describing the severity of an earthquake in terms of its
effects on the earth's surface.

quakes.
C. Active faults have generated earthquakes within the last 10,000 years, while inactive faults do not
show signs of having generated an earthquake for the last 10,000 years.
