The break is a fault in the rock that can lead to an earthquake, whose tremors can cause much damage to property and death.

A break in the crust along which rock moves?
This is called a fault.== ==
What type of rock form when glaciers move along mountains and break off sediments?
nothing
Once the elastic limit of rock is passed they break and move along surface called?
faults
What is the force strong enough to break the earths crust?
The force strong enough to break the Earth's crust is usually associated with tectonic plate movements. These movements occur due to the movement of molten rock in the Earth's mantle, which exerts pressure on the crust. Subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced beneath another, and divergent boundaries, where tectonic plates move apart, are common areas where the Earth's crust can break and create earthquakes and volcanic activity.
How does magma affect the rocks into which in intrudes?
Magma is molten rock that bubbles up along ocean ridges to form new crust. Another way that magma forms new crust is when it is expelled out of a volcano and becomes lava, which cools and hardens into crust.

What is a break in the crust where rock bodies move relative to each other?
A fault.
Do plate movements cause forces great enough to break rocks?
yes they are. Because all the plate tectonics are part of earth's crust so basically, when they move, they somehow break the crust (which is made of rock)

faults
What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.
What is a fraction or break in earth's listosphere along which blocks of rock move past each other?
The fraction/break itself is a fault caused by tectonic plate movement.
Is the rock in the crust able to move around more easily than the rock in the lower mantle since the rock in the crust moves around differently than rock in the lower mantle?
The rock in the lower mantle moves around easily than the crust. This is because rock in the lower mantle is hotter and closer to its melting point. Rocks in the crust are cooler thus harder to move around.
How does the earth's plates move on top of the crust?
The Earth's tectonic plates do not move on top of the crust, they are the crust. The crust is made out of plates. The plates float on top of the mantle, which is made of molten rock, called magma. The plates move because of currents in the magma.
What happen to the crust when the molten rocks move upward?
The crust melt's because the molten rock's are at a really high temperature.
Why is foilated rock easy to break?
The foliations in a rock are often planes of weakness where there is less cohesion. The rock can therefore break along these foliations.
Is move along on rock band or rock band 2?
rock band 2
