Once the elastic limit of rock is passed they break and move along surface called?
faults
Could a normal fault cause a land mass to break apart?
Faults do not cause continents and such to split apart. Faults are an effect of plate tectonics, just like earthquakes are an effect of faults moving. Land masses collide or break apart due to plate tectonics. Because tectonic forces place strain on s certain section of the earths crust, faults form and move from time to time to relieve the pressure.
Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
When rocks break, they move along surfaces called?
Faults
When rock layers break and resulting surface they break and slide on?
faults occur when this happens
What does faults mean?
Normal faults are when you have hanging walls that slide down relative to and below the footwall. Dip-slip faults are normal faults.
What is the break in the earth's crust called?
faults like the san Andreas fault in cal
In a earthquake rocks along faults move and break releasing enegry as what?
Seismic Waves
What is the break in Earth's crust called?
faults like the san Andreas fault in cal
How does faults relate to earthquake?
The faults makes the land "break" or seperate. Also it makes the land to shake. Also, the earthquakes shake the land. That's how they're similar.
What is a break in the Earth's crust where masses of rock slide past each other is called a?

What are the possible faults encountered during landing an airplan phase and how to resolve them?
the left landing gear could break, in which case, scooch to the left
