Friction causes the delay on the movement of the ground.

|
|
There is no movement right away because of the vibration of the rocks.

|
|
There is no movement right away because of the bending of the rocks.

|
The rapid release of energy causes the delay of the movement of the ground.

Detailed explanation-1: -The reason for the delay in ground movements is due to the geology that arises from inhomogeneity in the rock mass (Lynch and Malvichko, 2001). Geophones are used for measurement of seismic movements that help locate the source and the discontinuity over which the movement occurs (Fig.
Detailed explanation-2: -Earthquakes & Earth’s Interior. Earthquakes occur when energy stored in elastically strained rocks is suddenly released. This release of energy causes intense ground shaking in the area near the source of the earthquake and sends waves of elastic energy, called seismic waves, throughout the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Friction causes the delay on the movement of the ground. There is no movement right away because of the vibration of the rocks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Geothermal energy is the heat produced deep in the Earth’s core. Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed for use as heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is heat that is generated within the Earth.
