What happens when seismic energy is released as rocks in Earth's crust breaks and moves?
When rocks break and tilt or slide down the break and move, energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Sometimes we feel this release as an earthquake. It is basically an earthquake, but it can also cause a tidal wave or even a tsunami.
Is a foliated rock easier to break then nonfoliated rock?
Non foliated rocks, such as marble, form from limestone, a common type of sedimentary rock. Foliated rocks form from metamorphic or igneous rocks. Non Foliated rocks are more brittle than foliated rocks making them more susceptible to breakage.

Do foliated rocks have layers?

What are the two categories of metamorphic rocks?

What are foliated metamorphic rocks?

What rocks have foliated structure?
