Depends on what kind of boundary it is.

In convergent boundaries, trenches and volcanoes can form where oceanic crust hits continental crust. Mountains form when two continental plates collide.

In transform boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates slide past each other and release tension. Earthquakes underwater can cause tsunamis.

In divergent boundaries, faults can become more noticeable. Rifts are formed.

Magma can rise from them and fill gaps, creating volcanic islands if underwater.

Mid-ocean ridges in these boundaries.

Signs of fault movement are all over the place.

What is the difference of a dip slip fault or a strike slip fault?

In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the fault plane, either up (reverse fault) or down (normal fault). In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the fault plane, with minimal vertical movement. Both types of faults are caused by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust.

What is A fault with horizontal movement?

A fault with horizontal movement is called a strike-slip fault. In strike-slip faults, the movement is primarily horizontal, with one block of rock sliding past the other horizontally. This type of fault is characterized by lateral displacement along the fault line.


What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?

A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.


A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?

This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.


What is fault creep?
