Which movement of the Earths crust implies that the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust?
Plate tectonic movement and subduction zones.
How does the earth's surface change as a result of movement along faults?
Earth's surface can include both oceanic and continental crust. Faults are breaks in the crust where there is movement. The movement of the crust at the major plate boundaries may result in creation of new crust, subduction and destruction of existing crust, and raising or lowering of existing crust through thickening or extension. Moving continents and oceanic plates along faults can impact weather patterns which can change deserts into tropical areas and vice versa, create glaciers, and change the course of rivers. Numerous islands, seas, and mountain ranges are also the result of crustal movement.
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
The movement of magma through the Earth's crust is known as?
The movement of magma through the Earth's crust is known as intrusion.
What do you call the sudden movement of the Earth's crust?

How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along the normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
The movement of these can reshape the earth?
The Earth's crust, known as the lithosphere, is broken into segments known as plates. The movement of the plates over the asthenosphere causes the plates to change position altering Earth's surface.
What is a sudden movement in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes
What changes the shape and volume of the rock?
The forces of plate movement can change a flat plain into landforms produced by folding, stretching, and uplifing Earth's crust.
What is a geololgist?
