How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
What relationship exists between focus of earthquake and fault in earth's crust?
The focus is under the crust along the fault line.
A break in the crust along which rock moves?
This is called a fault.== ==
Fold-and-thrust belts are commonly associated with fault-block mountains?
No, so that is false.
What are the types of mountains?
There are three main types of mountains. block mountains formed by sections of the earth's crust that have been tilted or lifted up by the movement of two close fault lines, large cracks in the earth's surface. These are usually smaller than other types of mountains and are often separated by valleys. Volcanic mountains are formed by magma that is pushed out of the earth through a crack or weak place in the earth's crust. Fold mountains are formed when rock is "squeezed" together. When plates collide, the rock along the edges crumples, creating a huge zig-zag pattern in layers of the earth's crust. Upwarped mountains are formed when magma pushes up the earth's crust without breaking the surface. This creates a rounded mountain that gently slopes toward the surrounding land.

What do you call mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
Mountains made of crumpled and folded layers of rock are called fold mountains. The breaking down of materials of Earth's crust into smaller pieces is weathering.

Where are fault block mountain located?
fault block mountains are located in the earths crust
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
What do you call the deep cracks in the Earth's crust along which the crust shifted?
A Fault??
What relationship exists between focus of earthquake and fault in earth's crust?
The focus is under the crust along the fault line.
What happenes if the earth's crust moves suddenly along a fault?
A sudden shift of the earth's crust along a fault could result in an earthquake.
Names of Fault-Block mountains?
Fault blocks are causes by stresses in the Earth's crust. Examples of fault block mountains are the Vosges Mountains and the Black Forest Mountains.

Where do most of the world's mountains form?
Mountains form along fault lines.
