What else can I help you with?
Large scale folding of the earths crust may be caused by what?
the collision of sub-crustal plates :)
Are most earthquakes caused by folding?
No, most earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy along faults in the Earth's crust, not by folding. Folding is a slow process of deformation in the Earth's crust, while earthquakes are the result of rapid movement along faults.
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earths crust?
True((;
Wheathering and erosion of earths crust are primarily caused by?
water wind.
Was the coast range partly caused by folding?
Yes, the Coast Range was partly formed by folding caused by tectonic plate movements. The collision between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate created intense pressure and folding of the Earth's crust, resulting in the uplift of the Coast Range.
What is a sudden shaking of the earths crust caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
EARTHQUAKE
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
What mountain ranges were caused by folding?
The Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Alps in Europe are examples of mountain ranges caused by folding of the Earth's crust through tectonic processes.
Folding and faulting are caused by?
Folding and faulting are caused by tectonic forces within the Earth's crust, primarily due to the movement of large plates that make up the Earth's surface. Folding occurs when rock layers are compressed and bent, while faulting happens when rocks break and slide along fractures in the Earth's crust.
Folds in earths crust form mostly?
Well, mountains are formed mostly with folding and sometimes with volcanic eruptions. MOUNT EVERST was formed by the folding of the ocean. Folding is when the earth's crustal plates start to push together to form a mountain.
