QUESTION 3 Part I. Introduction to Earthquakes. Question 2. What happens to rocks before, during, and after an earthquake? A. Tectonic forces overcome the shear strength of the rock. The rock breaks, or undergoes brittle deformation, along the fault plane. B. The release of strain causes the rock to unbend or undergo elastic rebound. Before During After C. Strain in the rocks gradually builds up over time, the rock blocks are bent on either side of the fault and undergo elastic deformation 3 poir
