What is the name of the force that is causing movement at the this fault?
The force that is causing movement at this fault is called tectonic force. These forces are generated by the movement and interaction of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Do tectonic plates make friction?
Friction itself is a naturally occurring force but yes, tectonic plates do encounter friction.
What force pulls tectonic plates toward each other?
COMPRESSION
Which forces come from inside the Earth and cause sudden changes to its surface?
Gravitational force Tectonic force Diastrophism
What is a basal drag?
It is a force that could be contributing or complementing mantle convectional currents in the movements of lithospheric or tectonic plates. This force is generated when there is friction between convectional currents and the lithospheric or tectonic plate that lies above.
What is the tectonic force where rocks are broken?
Deposition, because it is the breaking down of all rocks.
What force occurs where Earth's plates are moving apart?
Tectonic forces (earthquakes, volcanoes...)
What is a kind of force that gets exerted as tectonic plates push against each other?
