Are Faulting and earthquakes are examples of brittle behavior?
yes
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
What is causing faulting?
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements
What geological phenomena are due to the movement of the lithosphere's plates?
Movement of the plates can result in a large number of geological phenomena, among which are earthquakes, rifting, volcanism, mountain building, faulting, landslides, changes in global temperatures, and formation of new seas.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
Faulting earthquakes can occur?
yes, they can
Are Faulting and earthquakes are examples of brittle behavior?
yes
Shock waves that are felt on the earth's surface as the results of faulting in the crust are called?
Seismic waves or tremors
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?

What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
The three different types of rock movement in earthquakes are normal (extensional) faulting, reverse (compressional) faulting, and strike-slip (lateral) faulting. Normal faulting occurs when rocks are pulled apart, reverse faulting involves rocks being pushed together, and strike-slip faulting involves horizontal movement along a fault line.
Shock waves that are felt on the earths surface as the result of faulting in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes :)
What are manifestations of stress in rocks?
cracks == In addition to cracks: faulting, metamorphism to new rock types, earthquakes, tilting, and folding.
Why is faulting important to man?
Faulting is important to humans because it can lead to the formation of valuable resources like mineral deposits or groundwater reservoirs. Additionally, faulting plays a key role in the movement of tectonic plates, which can cause earthquakes and tsunamis, impacting human populations and infrastructure. Understanding faulting is crucial for assessing and mitigating geological hazards in areas prone to tectonic activity.
How may faulting cause a tsunami?
Faulting can cause a tsunami by generating a sudden movement on the ocean floor, displacing a large volume of water above it. This displacement triggers a series of waves that propagate outward, forming a tsunami. Submarine earthquakes are a common cause of faulting that can result in tsunamis.
How earthquakes have changed the surface and atmosphere of the earth over millions of years?
EARTHQUAKES have changes the earth in many ways. The folding and faulting of the earth crust have left big cracks in the earths crust. The folding and faulting only happen on the tectonic boundaries. TECTONIC BOUNDARIES: The plates that make up the earths contents.
Why folding and faulting is one of the main causes behind earthquakes?
earthquakes often occur near fold mountains because fold mountains are formed on the earth's fault lines ( invisble lines in the earth's crust) and earthquakes happen when two fault lines crash together.
