What is the break in earth's crust where rocks can slide past each other?
Earthquakes with "Faults" or "Fault Lines"
What word means a Break in earths crust where rocks can slide past each other?
transform fault
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What is most studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
Is the alpine fault a transform fault?
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.

A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
What is the scientific defeniton of a fault?
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.

No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What are breaks in the earths crust where rocks have moved in relation with each other called?
The terms you reference involve tectonic plates and fault lines or fault zones (transform fault).
What occurs with the earth's crust when you have a transform fault boundary?
IT IS WHEN U PUT TWO OF THE PLATES TOGERTHER LIKE PARENTS
What type of fault is at a transform plate boundary?
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
Where is Andreas Fault?
The Andreas Fault is a right lateral transform fault in California that is about 1300 kilometers long. It extends from the northernmost part of the Gulf of California through western California. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust.
Is a transform fault and reverse fault the same?
No. A transform fault is a lateral movement across the strike. Huge transform faults dominate the Atlantic Ocean floor like ribs extending from the sides of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. A reverse fault has vertical displacement (becoming horizontal at depth if listric) in which the hanging wall drops relative to the footwall, and is associated with continental crust thinning and spreading.
What is most studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
What are two actions of earth's crust that can create a fault?
What aretwo actions in which of earths crustthat can create a fault? Grade 7 science!
