What do you call the layer of the solid unbroken rocks in the earths crust?
The layer of solid unbroken rocks in the Earth's crust is called the lithosphere.
What word means a Break in earths crust where rocks can slide past each other?
A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks can slide past each other due to tectonic forces.
What are the rocks that make up the earths crust?

What materials are the earths crust made of?
it is made of rocks
What are two rocks that can be found in the earths crust?

What is the point in the earths crust where rocks first break and move?
The point in the Earth's crust where rocks first break and move is called the "focus" or "hypocenter" of an earthquake. It is the location where the accumulated stress exceeds the strength of the rocks, causing them to fracture and release energy in the form of seismic waves. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the "epicenter." Understanding these points is crucial for studying and predicting seismic activity.
What is it called when rocks break and they move along surfaces?
This process is called "faulting," where rocks break and slide against each other due to tectonic forces, creating faults in the Earth's crust.
