Select the three that apply.

Seismic gaps are regions along tectonically active boundaries that are safer than other regions.
Fault scarps are surface expressions of fault planes that result from differential motion along them, causing an earthquake.
Earthquake-generating fault motion never leaves any evidence in the geologic record that can be used to address future seismic hazards.
Fault scarp creation, erosion, and associated sediment preservation in the geologic record is a key process used in paleoseismological investigations.
Paleoseismology helps geologists with the challenge of addressing societies trying to live with earthquake hazards around the globe.
