How are are earths faults different from your faults?
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.
What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
Faults
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
fault
When two normal faults forn parallel to each other a block of rockis left lying between them and as the normal fault slips downward the block in between moves upward forming a?
fault block mountian
Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
An uplift of a block of land between two parallel faults is a?
HORST
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
Crack in earths crust?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults. They are typically a result of the action of tectonic forces and may be the cause of earthquakes.
What often happens along large cracks called faults at the edge of the Earths plates?
Earthquakes
How does a rift valley from?
A rift valley is formed by the depression of a block of the earth's crust between two faults or groups of faults, of approximately parallel orientation.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended

Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
Faults undergoing movement that is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface are called?
Faults which appear to have displaced rock strata horizontally are called strike slip faults. The two blocks that have been displaced move in opposite directions along the fault line.
The places between plates moving together are called?
faults.
What percent of the Earths plate boundaries are transform faults?
69 % of earths plate boundaries are tranform faults. Researcher Kazeem Adalekan found tehe most accurate way to measure this in 2010.
