Why is little known of the interior of the earth?
Because we can not drill through the earths crust
What are scientist who study earthquakes and the movement of the Earths crust?
Seismologists or geologists, respectively.
What zone meets the earths crust?
the mantle also known as the athenosphere the crust is also known as the lithosphere
What is the surface layer of the earths surface is known as the?
The "crust" or biosphere
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
a fault
What is a break in the crust where movement occours?
It is known as a 'fault'.
What do geologists think causes earths plates to move?
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
Crack in earths crust?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults. They are typically a result of the action of tectonic forces and may be the cause of earthquakes.
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
In science what are breaks between plates known as?
they are Continent sized slab of the earths crust and upper mantle.
What is the crust and the upper mantle are called?
The crust and uppermost hard rocky mantle, together, is known as the lithosphere, which is above the plastic-like upper mantle area known as the asthenosphere.
What is a place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured?
A place where the crust of the lithosphere has fractured is known as the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is located below the lithosphere and is where plate tectonic movement occurs.
