What role does potential energy play in earthquakes

The energy in seismic waves that cause the ground to shake Heat energy associated with friction on the fault slip surface Gravitational potential energy (the energy stored when lifting something off the ground, for example) may change as a result of the earthquake Elastic potential energy, as in the recoil energy of a stretched spring.

Explanation:

comes directly from a net decrease in gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

the answer to the question is punishment. or more specifically, positive punishment.

positive punishment occurs when a behavior is given a negative consequence for the individual doing the behavior.

sara no longer wants to ask questions (the behavior) because she is ridiculed by mr. smith (the punishment).

reinforcement is inaccurate because reinforcement always gives positive consequences for the individual doing the behavior, be it by introducing a pleasant consequence or removing an unpleasant one.
