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 are breaks along which movement has occurred?
fault
What causes the movement along the San Andres fault?
plate tecteconics
Why do longer faults produce larger earthquakes than short faults?
When a longer fault ruptures, you have movement along a longer section of the crust, and so more rock is moving.
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.

A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault.?
That's called an earthquake.
A shaking of the ground caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock along a fault?
Sounds suspiciously like an earthquake. Indeed, it is.
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 happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
What are breaks along which movement has occurred?
fault
What causes a fault block mountain?
A fault-block mountain is formed by blocks of the Earth's crust moving along a fault.
