What layer on earth do we live on?
Humans live on the layer of the Earth called the crust. It is the top most layer of the Earth, which is made up of 4 layers. The inner core, outer core, mantel and, finally the crust.
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
Do normal faults result in crustal shortening?
Normal faults thin and extend the earth's crust. Reverse faults cause crustal shortening and thickening.
What three forces below the Earth's surface influenced the Earth's creation?
Three forces that act just beneath the surface and may have spurred creation are tension, which causes the crust to pull apart or stretch. Compression, which causes the crust to squeeze and push together. Shear, which pushes, tears and forces one part of the crust past the other.
Is crust under the surface of the Earth?
the crust is the surface of the earth
What forms when tension causes Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks of crust?
normal fault
Do compression and tension affect the thickness of earth's crust?
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.
What occurs when materials of the Earth's crust are stretch causing them to thin?
tension
What occurs when materials of the earth crust are stretched cause them to?
tension
What is the force that stretches or pulls apart the crust of the earth?
Tension stretches or pulls apart the crust.
Three types of stress that occurs in Earth's crust?
Tension, Compresion, and Shear :)
How do normal faults affect the crust?
Shorten the Earth's crust.
How does tension change shape of Earth's crust?
because when it acts on the surface it stretches the rock to make craters or " dents" on the crust.
Explain how surface tension helps organisms?
By providing space and cracks in the Earth's crust.
Compression and tension affect what of Earth's crust?
I think its thickness that's wat i put on my hw
What layer on earth do we live on?

How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
