Faulting and folding are both types of what-?
Crustal deformation. That is, when pieces of the Earth's crust change shape due to tectonic forces.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
Plates and Crustal plates are not different it can also be called as Crustal rocks
What is it when pieces of earth's crust are in constant slow motion called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
What are the causes of deformation?
Deformation of materials (called strain) is a response to forces acting on those materials (called stress).
What is rock deformation that is like a piece of miles clay and does not lead to earthquakes called?
if you are talking about deformation, it does cause earthquakes but they are very small
The study of the internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?
tectonics >novanet answer<
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movement is called?
The study of internal processes that result in crustal movements is called diastrophism. It is considered part of the field of geotectonics.

What is crustal material called?
rock
What is the process in which rocks change shape is called deformation deposition composition or flotation?
deformation
What is the geological theory that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion is called?

What are the causes of deformation?
Deformation of materials (called strain) is a response to forces acting on those materials (called stress).
What is the process of new crust formation called?
Crustal accretion, crustal generation and crustal (petro)genesis are all terms that appear in the literature to describe the process of crustal formation. There are probably a large number of others!
What is geological theory that states that pieces of earths crust are in constant slow motion called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
What is the geological theory that states that pieces of Earths crust are in constant slow motions is called?
The movement of crustal or lithospheric plates is a part of the theory of plate tectonics. The geological theory is called plate tectonics.
