What are large crack in Earth's crust called?
Fault
Why do earthquakes happen near fault lines?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
What causes fissures on the earth's crust?
High strength tremors shatter fault lines, creating a large eartquake to split the crust of the earth.
When waves cut large holes into the fractured or weak rock along the base of a sea cliff. what is formed?
Sea caves.
What is a fracture of earths crust?
A fault is a crack or fracture in the earth's crust. In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.
What type of fault can create a waterfall?
Movement of rocks along large cracks in the Earth's crust.

What type of mountain would most likel be formed fro large blocks of Earth's crust tilting and moving relative to other blocks of crust?
fault block
What is the effect of large sudden rock movements occur along a fault?
earthquakes

What kind of mountain is formed when tension causes large blocks of crust to drop down?
It's a fault-block mountains :)
