(hint see chapter 10.) stronger but also lasts longer than the vibrations pro- duced by slippage along small fault segments. 1.2 concept checks why do earthquake ruptures stop rather than con- tinue along the entire fault? evidence suggests that slip- page usually stops when the rupture reaches a section of the fault where the rocks have not been sufficiently strained to overcome frictional resistance, such as in what type of fault tends to produce the most destructive earthquakes? 1. 2. during an earthquake the entire length of a faul slips in a single event that lasts less than
