What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
What is igneas rock origin?
igneous rocks come from inside the earths crust. Usually through volcanoes, or fissures
What is a mega earthquake?
A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
What causes magma to flow out of a weak spot in the earths crust?
Geothermal presure.
What cause ocean ridges to form?
earths crust causes it
What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?

When fissures in the earths crust through which molten lava ash and gasses escape what forms?
New land

What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.

What type of stress causes the earths crust to become thinner?
Tension
What causes faults in Earths crust?
The constant plate movement
What causes magma to flow out of a weak spot in the earths crust?
Geothermal presure.
How does stress change earths crust?
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
What cause ocean ridges to form?
earths crust causes it
What process causes Earth's crust to be continuously formed by volcanic activity?
Pressure from the earths core
