What is used to detect hidden faults?
Geologists can use seismographs to detect hidden faults. When seismic waves encounter a fault, they are reflected off of the fault. Geologists can use this information to chart the location of a depth of a hidden fault.
Do geologists use creep meter to measure the horizontal movement along a fault?
yea
What do faults tell geologists about the relative ages of rock?
A fault must be younger than the rock it cuts through.
Where are the fault lines on East Coast of US?
Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama. See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
Rocks are to geologists as stars are to?
Rocks are to geologists as stars are to astronomers.
What clue tells geologists extrusion?
How does intrusion forrm
What clue tells geologists intrusion?
Give relative ages of rocks. This is not the only clue to this question
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 clues tell geologists about a fault?

What aspect of mountain building did geologists have trouble explaining?
Geologists have trouble explaining how fold and fault-block mountains came into being.
What clues tell geologists?
Give relative ages of rocks. This is not the only clue to this question
Do geologists use creep meter to measure the horizontal movement along a fault?
yea
What two factors help geologists predict an earthquake?
geologist can predict earthquakes by the help of stress along a fault and energy along the fault
How do geologists learn about the blocks of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
How do geologists learn about how the block of rock along a fault move?
They map the earthquakes intensity and where the past earthquakes were.
What are the advantage of using the moment magnitude scale to measure an earthquake?
The data show what kinds of seismic waves the earthquake produced and how strong they were. The data also help geologists infer how much movement occurred along the fault and the strength of the rocks that broke when the fault slipped. Geologists use all this information to rate the quake on the moment magnitude scale.
