A fault
A place where two tectonic plates meet is a fracture in the Earth.
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks
They are called fault lines.
== == A fault.
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.
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
Fault.
That's called a 'fault line'.
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
normal fault
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.
