What else can I help you with?
What do you call the upfold on the crust caused by faulting?
An upfold on the crust caused by faulting is called an anticline. It is a geologic structure where rock layers are folded upward in an arch-like shape. Anticlines are typically associated with compression forces in the Earth's crust.
What do you call it when one plate slips against another?
faulting
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
What do you call the sudden movement of the Earth's crust?
The sudden movement of the earth's crust is called and earthquake
What do you call the vertical and horizontal movement of the Earth's crust that produces mountains?
The vertical and horizontal movement of the Earth's crust that produces mountains is called tectonic activity, specifically associated with the processes of plate tectonics. This includes processes such as folding, faulting, and volcanic activity, which can result in the uplift and formation of mountain ranges over geological time scales.
How do you call the edge of the sandwich?
That's typically called the "crust".
What do you call the deep cracks in the Earth's crust along which the crust shifted?
A Fault??
What do you call a crack in the crust?
A fault.
What do you call the movements of the earths crust?
Tectonics.
What do you call the crack in Earth's crust?
A fault.
Is the layer of the rock under the surface called earths crust?
Yes it is call a crust 😁
What do you call the thin and thick part of the crust?
The thin part of the crust is called ocean basins. The thick part of the crust is called continents.
