A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called a .?
A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
Are the locations of volcanoes related to earthquake faults?
yes
What are three types of movements that occur along faults?
Convergence, divergence and strike slip.
How movements along faults affected the surroundings?

What is something produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere?
Earthquake
What is the measurement of an earthquake's strength based on seismic waves and movements along faults?
An earthquake's magnitude is a measure of its strength.
Do the movements in the ground cause the ground to shake?
yes also the faults rub together and make it shake into an earthquake and the eruption of a volcano can start a earthquake.

Will there be a 9.8 earthquake in Los Angeles tomorrow?
No. First, it is impossible to predict when an earthquake will occur. Second, none of the faults in southern California are capable of generating an earthquake anywhere near that intensity. Scientists estimate that the largest earthquake the San Andreas Fault can generate is in the neighborhood of an 8.3.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What does faults mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
What are the huge rips in the ground called after an earthquake?
Faults
Are the locations of volcanoes related to earthquake faults?
yes
What two factors do geologists consider when determining earthquake risk for a region?
By locating where faults are active and where past earthquake have occurred.
