Faults occur when tectonic plates move and generate friction, causing earthquakes. Earthquakes are natural phenomena where the ground shakes suddenly from seismic waves traveling through Earth's crust. There are different types of faults like normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults which can cause earthquakes by releasing built up energy along fault lines.
