    Uploaded by

    Active faults are fractures or cracks in the Earth's crust where plates meet and move. They are zones of weakness where earthquakes regularly occur as the plates shift. Major active faults often occur near plate boundaries and are associated with earthquake activity and the development of linear depressions in the seafloor known as trenches.
