What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
Is a movement or trembling of the ground that is caused by a sudden of energy when rocks move along a fault?
Earthquake
When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
What makes a fault different from other kinds of fractures in rocks?
Rocks on either side of a fault move along the surface of the fault.
What is a break or crack along which rocks moved called?
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.
How do geologists learn about the blocks of rock along a fault line?
Geologists study fault lines by mapping the rocks on either side of the fault, looking at the geometry of the fault (such as its orientation and displacement), and analyzing the types of rocks and their characteristics. They may also use techniques like seismic reflection surveys, ground-penetrating radar, and drilling to understand the structures within the Earth's crust along a fault line.
Another name for a fracture along which rocks move is?
This is known as a fault.
What happens to rocks along to reverse fault?
The rock gets farther a part from the fault
What leads to earthquakes along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault when there is a sudden release of built-up stress in the Earth's crust. This stress is caused by tectonic plate movement, which leads to the rocks along the fault slipping past each other, generating seismic waves. The sudden release of energy during this movement is what causes the ground to shake and results in an earthquake.
A break in the crust along which rock moves?
This is called a fault.== ==
What happens to rocks along a fault line?
Rocks along a fault line can break and shift due to tectonic forces, causing movements such as sliding past each other or being compressed together. The friction and pressure along the fault line can lead to earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released suddenly. Over time, the rocks along a fault line can also undergo deformation, such as folding and faulting.
What is the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a fault?
Earthquake
