Cracks in earths crust are called?
fulat
What is shearing on earth's crust?
shearing is when rocks pushes in opposite directions
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
What causes cracks in the earth's crust?

What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
How does magma rise to the surface of the Earth?
Through cracks, holes or vents in the earths crust.
What is shearing on earth's crust?
shearing is when rocks pushes in opposite directions
What usually happens to magma after it has formed in the earths crust?
It does not cause earthquakes, it does not rise through cracks in the crust, the possible two answers are it spreads equally in all directions (I say most likely not, but I'm not sure) or (Most likely yes) it increases in density and sinks to the core.
What theory states that earths crust and the rigid upper mantle move in different directions rates over earths surface?
Plate tectonics.
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
What what are cracks in the Earth's crust called?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are faults.
Crack in earths crust?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults. They are typically a result of the action of tectonic forces and may be the cause of earthquakes.
What is the procedure to make a fault block mountain?
What is needed to make a real life Fault Block Mountain is cracks in the earth and other things. 1. Cracks in the earths crust force some materials of rocks up and others down. 2. The earths crust fractures ( pulls apart) 3. You have you a wonderful Fault Block Mountain
