Self-test: taken place. True or False. Write True if the statement is correct and write False if the statement is incorrect. Write your answer in a separate sheet of paper. 1. Fault is a break in the Earth's crust caused by significant movement of rocks that has 2. Inactive faults are known to have recently generated earthquakes within 10,000 years 3. Active faults that have been recognized at the surface and which have evidence of past movement in the past 1.6 million years are called quaternary faults. 4. Active faults occur in the vicinity of tectonic plate boundaries. 5. Earthquake is the line of intersection between the fault plane and the Earth's surface. 6. Effects of movement of an active fault include strong ground motion, surface faulting, tectonic deformation, landslides and tsunamis. 7. Geomorphology, seismology, plate tectonics, geodetics, and remote sensing are the related geological disciplines for active fault studies. 8. All shallow earthquakes occur in inactive faults. 9. If inactive faults help in alleviating strain within the crust or upper mantle then it can be considered reactivated faults. 10. According to their level of activity faults may be classified as active and inactive.​
