There is evidence of the movement if the earths crust all over the world. The fact that if you look on a map you will see that South America and Africa look like they fit together like a puzzle. There have also been identical fossils found on different continents which enforces the fact that the land masses were once joined and have infact MOVED apart. If there is an earthquake fissures can form which are cracks in the ground where the ground has MOVED apart.

When land masses on earths crust are moving what is it called?
earthquake
What is caused by the earths plate or crust?
Earthquaks are caused by the earths tectonic plates moving over each other.Nothing is caused by the earths crust its just dirt and rock.
What are moving pieces under the earths surface that form the earths crust?
The answer is tectonic plates floating on the lithosphere. Does that answer your question? LOL :)
What help create volcanoes?
The moving earth plates and the heat (and other stuff) from under the earths crust.
Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes
What is the moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle?
a moving portion of earths crust and upper mantle is called a ridge that's when the ocean floor has underwater volcano that erupts

How and why does the earths crust vary from place to place?
The earths crust its 5-70km deep in the ocean and upto 100km deep at mountain ranges. At certain areas, the crust is unstable due to moving plate tectonics.

What is an example of a fault in earths crust?
San Andreas fault.

How does the earths crust move?
It gets a free ride on the moving surface of a mantle convection current.
Are some parts of the earths crust moving up to 12 cm per year?
yes
Why is the earths crust always moving?
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.

Earths crust is part of the?
The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
