    Explanation:

    Fault rupture or ground raptures are those that visible offset the ground surface when an earthquake occurs at a buried rapture. where there is no displacement of ground levels.

    Types of faults are

    1. Normal faulting is a simple fault scarp of superficial deposits that give rise to rise to surface graben.

    2. Reverse faulting is a more complex surface rapture, which is liable to collapse like a back-thrust development.

    3. Strike-slip faulting is associated with dominantly horizontal movement, occur in en-echelon faults

    All these impacts the

    size of the earthquake, the rate of all potential earthquakes, the distance of the site and the complexity of the fault.
