This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault is the result of the downward movement of rock along the fault line.
The slow continuous movement that occurs along some fault zones is referred to as what?
creep
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.
When movement occurs along a normal fault?
The hanging wall goes down while the footwall goes up.
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
The slow continuous movement that occurs along some fault zones is referred to as .?
fault creep
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

What is true about a hanging wall?
It slips downward when movement occurs along a normal faultIt occurs when the fault is at an angle

How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along the normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.

The hanging wall goes down while the footwall goes up.
What is a rupture of geological fault?
Faulting is when rocks deform in a brittle fashion and break, and then movement occurs along these fractures.
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
