What geologic feature is a fracture in earth's crust?
A place where two tectonic plates meet is a fracture in the Earth.
What kind of tectonic stress causes fault-block mountains?
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks
What is a break in earth's crust along which portions of earth's crust move relative to one another called?
They are called fault lines.
What is a break in the Earth's crust along which portions of the Earth move relative to one another?
== == A fault.
What faulting in earthquakes?
A fault is a break in Earth's crust along which blocks of rock slide relative to one another. A fault can occur within a tectonic plate's boundaries. Boundaries between tectonic plates are always faults.
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
A Fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
A fault is a fracture where blocks of the Earth's crust move relative to one another. This movement can be lateral, vertical, or diagonal, and it is often caused by tectonic forces. Earthquakes can occur along faults when the built-up stress is released suddenly.
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.
What do you call a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another?
That is called a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the fracture.
What is the name of the deep crack in the Earth surface?
A deep crack in the earth's surface is a fault It can also be a joint.
What is The breaking and sliding surface between blocks of Crust?
The breaking and sliding surface between blocks of crust is known as a fault. Faults occur due to tectonic forces causing stress and releasing energy along these fracture zones. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes and the shifting of Earth's crust.
Mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
What is the rift of an earthquake?
The rift of an earthquake refers to the fracture or break along a fault line where the two blocks of the Earth's crust move relative to each other during an earthquake. This movement causes the release of energy in the form of seismic waves that produce the shaking felt on the Earth's surface.
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.
What type of mountains are formed when tension causes large blocks of Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks?
Large blocks of Earth's crust that drops down relative to other blocks, will form a rift valley (trench). The Great Rift Valley in Africa is one example.
What causes a fault block mountain?
Fault block mountains are formed when large blocks of the Earth's crust are uplifted along faults. Tensional forces cause the blocks to move vertically relative to each other, creating steep mountain ranges and valleys. As the blocks continue to move, the mountains can be further uplifted and shaped by erosion.
What type of mountain would most likel be formed fro large blocks of Earth's crust tilting and moving relative to other blocks of crust?
fault block
