What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?

A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.


Is there a break between the second and third movement of the Fifth Symphony?

No. The second movement leads directly into the third movement.


Why is creep slow?

Creep is slow because it involves the movement of atoms or molecules over time due to the influence of stress and temperature. This movement occurs at a very slow rate because the bonds between atoms need time to break and reform in order for the material to deform.


What name is given to the point on a fault at which the first movement or break occurs during an earthquake?

The name given to the point on a fault where the first movement or break occurs during an earthquake is called the hypocenter or focus. This is the point within the Earth's crust where the seismic waves originate and energy is released, causing an earthquake.


When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?

At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.


What is a rupture of geological fault?

A rupture of a geological fault occurs when there is sudden movement along the fault line, causing the rocks on either side to break and slide relative to each other. This movement releases accumulated stress and can result in an earthquake. The size and impact of the rupture depend on factors like the length of the fault segment and the amount of slippage.


The surface of a break in a section of rock?

The surface of a break in a rock is called a fault. It occurs when there is movement along the break, causing the rock to shift position. Faults can range in size and can be caused by tectonic forces, weathering, or other geological processes.


Why don't you get paralized from the waist up but always neck down or chest down or waist down?

Because the ability to control movement is controlled by the brain. The break occurs between the brain and the nerves going down the back bone. From that point down is what control will be lost.


What type of weathering occurs when rock is broken down as it absorbs water?

Hydration weathering occurs when rock absorbs water, causing it to expand and break apart. This process is common in areas with frequent cycles of wetting and drying.


What beethoven symphony has no break between third and fourth movement?

That was his 6th Symphony, which unlike his other contained five movements.


What is it called when waves break the water that rushes up the beach?

That phenomenon is called "surf" or "surfing." It occurs when waves reach shallow water near the shoreline, break, and create a foamy, turbulent water movement that rushes up the beach.


When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
