Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. When this movement occurs, it can cause earthquakes, as the stress built up from the shifting rocks is released suddenly. Additionally, faults can create topographical features such as mountains, valleys, and plateaus due to the uplift or subsidence of the land along the fault line.
What else can I help you with?
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
What type of faults are associated with philatelic mountains?
Philatelic mountains often have faults such as creases, tears, or perforation separations. These faults can affect the appearance and value of stamps, making them less desirable for collectors. Additionally, faults can occur during the printing or handling process, resulting in imperfections on the stamp's surface.
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.
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
What do we call a measure of height above earths surface?
Height above earths surface is called elevation
How do sand dunes effect earths surface?
they affect by the sand
How do hurricanes affect the earths surface?
they obviously destroy things...
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
How are earths faults different from your faults?
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.

How do mudslides affect earths surface?
The Earth may shift downward and may cause great damage.
How does volcanic ash in Earths atomosphere affect solar radiation?
It blocks (some of) it from reaching the surface of the Earth.

What are the three mayor faults?
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.
