What are breaks in the earth's crust?
Faults.
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
Crack in earths crust?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults. They are typically a result of the action of tectonic forces and may be the cause of earthquakes.
What is broken into sections called plates which float on top of the crust?
tectonic plates
How does the earth's surface change as a result of movement along faults?
Earth's surface can include both oceanic and continental crust. Faults are breaks in the crust where there is movement. The movement of the crust at the major plate boundaries may result in creation of new crust, subduction and destruction of existing crust, and raising or lowering of existing crust through thickening or extension. Moving continents and oceanic plates along faults can impact weather patterns which can change deserts into tropical areas and vice versa, create glaciers, and change the course of rivers. Numerous islands, seas, and mountain ranges are also the result of crustal movement.
The breaks in the crust where plates meet are called?
faults
Do Breaks in the the crust called faults form where the plates meet?

Is the Earth's crust made up of sections of rock called faults?
plates
What are breaks in the earth's crust?
Faults.
What are the breaks in the Earth's crust?
Faults.
What are breaks in the earth's crust where plates meet called?
mountains and earthquakes
What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
Faults
What cause faults and earthquakes?
Movement of tectonic plates which are parts of the Earth's crust.
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
Why. do. faults often occur along plate boundaries?
Faults occur because the forces of plate motion push or pull the crust so much that the crust breaks.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What what are cracks in the Earth's crust called?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are faults.
