Geologists know that wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults, a. earthquakes are not likely. b. earthquakes are likely. c. an earthquake is occurring. d. an earthquake could never occur.

ANSWER:

b. earthquakes are likely.

EXPLANATION:

When the plate movement stores energy it suddenly releases tension in the tectonic plates and sends waves of energy that travel through the Earth.Then the sudden movements of the Earth's tectonic plates causes an earhquake. Geologists can know where an earthquake may occur, such as close to the fault line but they cannot predict a major earthquake before it occurs.
