Solution

The option that is NOT included in the ways scientists use to find out if a fault is active is "Scientist created a fault model." This is because creating a fault model is a theoretical approach and does not provide direct evidence of a fault's activity. The other options involve direct observation or study of the fault and its effects, which can provide evidence of its activity.
