How do the rocks in a strike-slip fault move?
It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.
What is the plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs?
The plate within the crust where an earthquake occurs is often along a fault line, where two tectonic plates are in contact. When stress builds up along the fault line and is released suddenly, it causes the plates to move, resulting in an earthquake.
What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
How does a fault line become active?
A fault line becomes active when the stress accumulated along the fault exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to break and move. This movement can result from tectonic forces, such as the shifting of tectonic plates. When the stress is released, it often leads to earthquakes. Continuous tectonic activity can keep a fault line active over time, leading to repeated seismic events.
What is it called when rocks and soil in the Earth move suddenly?
It is called an earthquake when rocks and soil in the Earth move suddenly due to the release of energy along fault lines.
When did the fault in the Christchurch earthquake last move?
The fault that caused the Christchurch earthquake, specifically the Port Hills Fault, last moved during the significant earthquake that struck on February 22, 2011. This earthquake had a magnitude of 6.3 and resulted in widespread damage and loss of life in Christchurch, New Zealand. The fault movement during this event was part of the ongoing tectonic activity in the region.
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
Is a movement or trembling of the ground that is caused by a sudden of energy when rocks move along a fault?
Earthquake
What is the name of the fault where the rocks on either side move past each other during an earthquake?
strike slip fault---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BITCHOSAURUS REX
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 kind of fault happens under the ocean?
the answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!
