I think that internal pressure caused by variations on temperature is the reason that makes the crust's rocks to move, thus causing earthquakes.

Why pieces of earth's earliest crust do not exist today?

Earth's earliest crust, which formed over 4 billion years ago, has been recycled through processes like subduction, where it is pulled back into the mantle. This constant recycling of Earth's crust, along with the effects of erosion and weathering, means that no original pieces of the earliest crust remain intact today.

Nitrogen is actually not found in every mineral in the Earth's crust. It is more commonly found in the atmosphere as a gas, and it can also be found in compounds like nitrates and ammonium salts in the soil.


Are faults with no active creep safe?

No, they are not safe. No active creep, that is acting over hundreds of years slowly deforms the crustal rock on both sides of the fault. Ultimately, it leads to the elastic rebound of the rock, that causes big scale earthquakes.
