i dont know? dont ask me
What is caused by sudden displacements along fault fissures in the solid and rigid layer of the earth?
Sudden displacements along fault fissures can cause tremors and earthquakes.
What is the name of the earth crust along a fault line?
The section of the Earth's crust along a fault line is referred to as the "fault plane." It is the surface along which the rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. The movement can cause earthquakes and other geological activity.
What is a break in earth's crust?
A fault
What is a volcanic fault?
A volcanic fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust that occurs due to the movement of molten rock or magma beneath the surface. These faults can cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions when there is significant pressure and stress built up along the fault line.
Why are the earthquakes and volcanic belts roughly the same?
Because most volcanoes occur along 'fault lines' in the Earth's crust. It's the movement of these same fault lines that cause Earthquakes.
What is the area along the fault where an earthquake begins?
The area along the fault where an earthquake begins is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is first released, generating seismic waves that cause the ground shaking we feel during an earthquake.
The place along the fault where the earthquake starts is called the what?
The place along the fault where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, or focus. This is the point within the Earth's crust where the energy is first released, generating seismic waves that cause the shaking felt at the surface.
What is the definition for the word fault in science terms?
The crack that forms when rocks break and move past each other is called a fault . The blocks of rock that are on either side of the fault are called fault blocks .
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.
What is an scientific sentence for fault in geology?
A fault in geology is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. This movement can result in earthquakes when the stress along the fault is released.
