Which ongoing process causes the buildup of energy that is released at a later time when an earthquake occurs?

Heat from Earth’s core slowly melts the rocks found deep in Earth’s crust.
Nuclear reactions in Earth’s lower crust release electromagnetic waves.
Jagged edges along a fault generate friction between two moving tectonic plates.
Tectonic plates near a fault continue to move even though the fault remains motionless.

In the 1960s, seismometers were installed around the world for the purpose of monitoring nuclear testing. The seismometers unexpectedly showed that most of the world’s earthquakes and volcanoes occurred in belts along the continental margins. How did these new data help support the theory of plate tectonics?

by allowing scientists to prevent future volcanoes near tectonic plate boundaries
by providing evidence the continents have moved extensively over time
by providing evidence of interactions between moving tectonic plates
by allowing scientists to predict where future earthquakes would occur
