What else can I help you with?
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
Earthquakes happen when these sections move along earths crust?
Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates, which make up the Earth's crust, shift against each other. This movement creates stress at the plate boundaries, which is eventually released in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
What is a special feature of earths crust?
One special feature of Earth's crust is that it is divided into tectonic plates that float and move on the semi-fluid upper mantle. This movement causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
The movement of Earth's plates can create geological features like mountains and volcanoes through processes such as subduction and continental collision. It can also lead to earthquakes when plates shift along faults in the Earth's crust.
What are facts about faults?
1. Faults can be vertical or horizontal (approximately) 2. a fault is a separation or crack in the earths crust 3. when faults slide against each other they create an earthquake 4. Earthquakes can cause tsunamis 5. Earthquakes are found most commonly on fault lines
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
What are the different types of earthquakes?
I think there are three types of earthquakes one is the earths crust
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
A specialist in study of earthquakes and other movements of the earth's crust?
geologist
What is a sudden movement in the Earth's crust?
earthquakes
Earthquakes happen when what section of the earths crust move?
The tectonic plates.
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
Why Singapore does not get earthquakes?
its just cause the earths crust didint crack there before
What is the name of ca famous break in the earths crust that causes earthquakes to occur?
The famous break in the Earth's crust that causes earthquakes to occur is called a fault line. Movement along fault lines can result in earthquakes due to the build-up and release of stress between tectonic plates.
What is a geololgist?
a person who studies the movement of the earths crust
