it is called earthquake
What else can I help you with?
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
What movement does mantle convection currents cause?
They cause plate movement. The plate movement then causes an earthquake.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What is it called when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement?
It is called folding when rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement.
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?
plate movement and plate tectonics
When contients break apart into separate land masses it is called?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of Earth's tectonic plates, which can cause continents to shift and separate over millions of years.
When continents break apart into separate land masses what it is called?
When continents break apart into separate land masses, it is called continental drift or plate tectonics. This process is driven by the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates.
Do earthquakes cause transform plate movement?
No, they don't. In fact earthquake are a result of transform plate movement.
What force cause the movement of the continent from one supercontinent to the present positions?
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.
What forces cause the movement of the continents from one supercontinent to their present positions?
the movement of convection currents in the mantle is the cause of plate motion.
What kind of landforms can destructive plate movement cause?
Mountains, Continents, Volcanoes, Islands, and Fault Lines are the 5 landforms caused by plate movement.
