In an earthquake the point where a fault first slips is called the .?
In an earthquake, the point where a fault first slips is called the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the location beneath the Earth's surface where the seismic energy is initially released, leading to the propagation of seismic waves. The point directly above the focus on the Earth's surface is known as the "epicenter."
What is the point called where a fault first slips is called the?
According to wikipedia: An earthquake's hypocenter is the position where the strain energy stored in the rock is first released, and is the point where the faultbegins to rupture
In an earthquake the point where a fault slips is called the?
The point where a fault slips during an earthquake is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the location underground where the seismic energy is released and spreads outwards, causing the ground to shake at the surface.
When the ground slips at fault lines the movement the earth undergoes is called what?
earthquakes
When the ground slips at fault lines the movement the earth undergoes is called?

When the hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall the result is a?
A normal fault
What the hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall the result is a?
Normal Fault
Sudden break or crack in rock strata that occurs when one plate slips against another is called?
I'm not entirely certain, but probably about 95% sure that it's called a fault.
What is the result When a hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall?
When the hanging wall of a fault slips down with respect to the footwall, it results in a normal fault. This type of faulting is associated with extensional tectonic forces, where the hanging wall moves downward in relation to the footwall, creating space between the two blocks.
What is a strike slips?
Strike-slip fault -a boundary where rocks on opposite sides of the fault move in opposite or the same directions at different rates.
Which of these occur when Earth's crust slips a fault line tornadoes earthquakes snowstorms or water erosion?
Earthquakes occur when the crust slips. The other events and processes are unrelated.
What happens in thrust faulting?
The hanging wall block slips downward along the thrust fault
