What is sections of the earths crust called?
what what
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
The earths crust is made of rock sections called?
Continental plates.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
Do earthquakes spread the earth apart?
Not necessarily. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along cracks in the Earth's crust called faults. There are three main types of fault, all of which can produce earthquakes. Normal faults usually occur where the crust is being pulled apart. Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, are usually found where sections of the crust are pushed together. Transform faults occur where sections of the crust slide past each other horizontally, neither pushing together nor pulling apart.
Plates are large sections of Earths what?
The crust
What are the sections of earth's are the plates in?
earths crust
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
What is a break in the earths crust called that can move up down or sideways?
A break in the Earth's crust that can move up, down, or sideways is called a fault. Faults are classified based on the direction of movement, with different types including normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
When plates within the Earth's crust bend and crack, faults are formed. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the break. These movements can be either vertical or horizontal, causing earthquakes.
What are the three mayor faults?
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.
