The Elastic Rebound Theory: How Stress Builds and Releases in the Earth's Crust

Uncover how the elastic rebound theory explains the build-up and sudden release of stress in the Earth's crust during earthquakes. This key principle of seismology reveals why faults break and how seismic waves are generated. Learn how scientists monitor stress accumulation and why understanding this theory is essential for earthquake preparedness. #elasticrebound #earthquake #seismology See also: https://youtu.be/r1buamAV0fk
