How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?

The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.

What is an scientific sentence for fault in geology?

A fault in geology is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. This movement can result in earthquakes when the stress along the fault is released.


A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?

This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.


What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?

If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.


What is fault creep?

Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.


What is the difference of a dip slip fault or a strike slip fault?

In a dip-slip fault, the movement is primarily vertical along the fault plane, either up (reverse fault) or down (normal fault). In a strike-slip fault, the movement is primarily horizontal along the fault plane, with minimal vertical movement. Both types of faults are caused by tectonic stresses in the Earth's crust.


What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?

A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.


A crack in the earth's surface along wich movement takes place?

A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement occurs. This movement can result in earthquakes when the stress from tectonic plate movement is released.


What is a slow movement along a fault called?

An Earthquake!


The breaking and sliding surface between blocks of crust?

A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred. This movement can be horizontal, vertical, or a combination of both. Faults can generate earthquakes when the stress along the fault is released suddenly, resulting in movement along the fault surface.
