A sudden shift of the earth's crust along a fault could result in an earthquake.
What else can I help you with?
What happened if the earths crust move suddenly along fault?
The result is commonly known as an earthquake.
What you mean by volcanos?
A volcano is a vent (opening) in the earths crust through which molten materials erupts suddenly.
Where do folds in the earths crust form?
along tectonic plate boundaries.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
Earthquakes often occur along faults or breaks in Earth's crust where movements occur. These movements happen when stress builds up along the fault and is released suddenly, causing the rocks to break and generate seismic waves. Earthquakes can range in intensity depending on the magnitude of the movement along the fault.
Break in earths crust where pieces of the crust move relative to each other?
A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where pieces of the crust move relative to each other. This movement can cause earthquakes as stress builds up along the fault line and is released suddenly. Faults are common in regions where tectonic plates interact and are essential for understanding earthquake hazards.
What is a break in the earths crust along which blocks of cross slide related to one another?
It is a fault.
What is the term for the sudden movement of rock along fractures of faults in the earths crust?
The term is 'earthquake'.
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
What happens if the earths crust moves suddley along a fault?
The sudden movement could result in an earthquake.
What is the scientific defeniton of a fault?
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
