What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
A crack in the earths bedrock?
The answer is fault
When the rock above the fault surface moves down relative to the Rock below the fault surface what kind of fault?
This is described as a normal fault.
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
Fault
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens along a fault under the earths surface when an earthquake occurs?
it get weak
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is an example of a fault in earths crust?
San Andreas fault.
What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
a fault
Describe what happens along a fault beneath earths surace when an earthquake occurs?
the tectonic plates start to collide which causes shearing, so the epicenter is forces to move farther down the path of the fault.
A is a breaker in the earths crust?
fault
What is a A break in earths crust?
A fault
