fault-block mountains are formed
TecTonic plates
Crust
It is a huge country, naturally it will be divided into physical regions.
A huge piece of Earth's crust is called a tectonic plate. These plates are pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move slowly over the asthenosphere, interacting with each other at plate boundaries.
When a huge piece of crust diverges (pulls apart), the crust becomes fractured and magma spills out on the surface.

miners have been able to dig into the earths crust by big machines and other huge tools and they have only dig ed 2 miles into the earths crust
most times earthquakes occur
Earth's magnetic field is not in its crust. It passes through the crust, but it is generated by the differential motion of the inner and outer core. The core is mostly iron and nickel. This creates huge dynamo and generates our magnetosphere.
They are Tectonic Plates I think there are 9 of them.
rift valleys
350mm to 450mm depends on the regions. Sask is huge
