A. It will be shifted. B. It will be displaced.
C. Both A and B are correct. D. nothing will happen.
For items number 9-10, refer to the illustration below:
9. The boxes shown in the figure represent rocks of the Earth. As you pull one of the boxes, it doesn’t move right
away. What is the reason why rocks do not move right away when there's a fault? Rocks do not move right away
because of ______________.
A. the forces of energy inside the Earth. B. the gravity of the Earth that pulls.
