When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
A fracture surface along which rocks can slip is called what?
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
What is the point below the surface where rocks break and move apart?
The point below the surface where rocks break and move apart is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth's crust where the energy from an earthquake is released, causing the rocks to break and move along a fault line.
What makes a fault different from other kinds of fractures in rocks?
Rocks on either side of a fault move along the surface of the fault.
What is is the surface of a break in a section of rocks?
A Fault
When rocks break, they move along surfaces called?
When rocks break, they move along surfaces called faults or fractures. These are planes along which the rock layers have shifted relative to each other due to stress in the Earth's crust. Movement along these surfaces can result in earthquakes.
What is it called when rocks break and they move along surfaces?
This process is called "faulting," where rocks break and slide against each other due to tectonic forces, creating faults in the Earth's crust.
What is a break or crack along which rocks moved called?
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.
The point below earth's surface where rocks break is what?
Focus
How rocks got to surface of the earth?
the moon break down
How do foliated rocks break?
Usually along the plane of foliation.
What do you call a break or crack along which rocks move?
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
