What is a crak in the earths crust that can lead to an earthquake called?
A crack in the Earth's crust that can lead to an earthquake is called a fault.
Does an earthquake cause a fault?
No an earthquake is caused because in that certain area where the earthquake was , there was a fault line.
A break in the crust along which rock move is a?
The break is a fault in the rock that can lead to an earthquake, whose tremors can cause much damage to property and death.
What is the name of the largest earthquake fualt?
The largest earthquake fault is San Andreas fault.
Can activity on one fault line affect another fault line?
Yes, there have been instances of an earthquake on one fault line can trigger one on anther fault. It is even suspected that the December 26, 2004 earthquake in Indonesia triggered a smaller earthquake in Alaska.
What fault did the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake sit on?
The 1920 Haiyuan earthquake, also known as the 1920 Gansu earthquake, occurred on the Haiyuan Fault. This fault is located in the Gansu province of China and is a major active fault in the region.
What relationship exists between focus of earthquake and fault in earth's crust?
The focus of an earthquake, also known as the hypocenter, is the point in the Earth's crust where the seismic energy is released. The depth of the focus can vary, and it is typically associated with the location of the fault where the earthquake originates. The fault is the fracture in the Earth's crust where the tectonic plates move past each other, causing stress to build up and eventually lead to an earthquake.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What fault did the Chilean earthquake occur on?
painful fault
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What fault line has the highest probability of producing an earthquake?
The San Andreas Fault in California has the highest probability of producing a significant earthquake due to its location and history of seismic activity. It is a transform fault where the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate meet, creating intense stress that can lead to earthquakes.
What fault made Mexico have an earthquake?
San Andreas fault.
