When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
What can move rocks and soil?
Natural forces such as wind, water, and ice can move rocks and soil through processes like erosion. Human activities like construction and mining can also move rocks and soil when heavy machinery is used.
How do particles move in the ground when an earthquake occurs?
During an earthquake, particles in the ground move in a wave-like motion due to the release of energy from the shifting of tectonic plates. This causes the ground to shake, creating seismic waves that propagate through the Earth. The particles move both horizontally and vertically, resulting in the ground shaking in different directions.
What is the point below the surface where rocks break and move apart?
The point below the surface where rocks break and move apart is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth's crust where the energy from an earthquake is released, causing the rocks to break and move along a fault line.
Is it true that due to the force of friction a glacier will start to move downhill once the layer of snow and ice is more than about 30 to 40 meters deep?
Yes, the force of friction between the glacier and the ground is one of the factors that allows glaciers to move downhill under their own weight. This movement occurs once the thickness of the glacier reaches a critical depth where the force of gravity overcomes the frictional resistance. Once this threshold is reached, the glacier will start to flow downslope.
Does the rocks along a fault move the ground stgays still?
No
Is this true or false plucking can move only small stones?
False it breaks up small rocks then picks it up...
What is it called when you remove rocks from the ground?
The process of removing rocks from the ground is known as excavation or rock removal. It typically involves heavy equipment such as excavators or bulldozers to dig up and clear the rocks from the soil.
What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
Is it true or false as s waves move through the ground they cause it to compress and then expand?
False. S waves (secondary waves) move through the ground by shearing the rock particles side to side, creating a horizontal motion that is perpendicular to their direction of travel. This shearing motion can cause the ground to move in a wave-like pattern, but not compress and then expand as with compressional waves (P waves).
Is a movement or trembling of the ground that is caused by a sudden of energy when rocks move along a fault?
Earthquake
Do rock deep in the ground move?
Everything on or in the Earth moves relative to something, so yes.
True or false setting a heavy suitcase down on the ground requires you to do negative work on it?
False. Setting a heavy suitcase down on the ground does not require you to do negative work on it. Work is only done when you apply a force to an object and move it over a distance in the direction of the force applied. Simply placing the suitcase on the ground does not involve any work being done.
How do glaciers cause weathering?
ANSWER:A glacier is nothing more than a frozen river still moving. It might only move an inch or two per year, but it still moves and this ice will erode the ground and rock below it faster and more agressively than if it was just water. Its because glaciers also pick up and move the rocks that they run over and this gravel (chunks of rocks) can carve mountains down and cut valleys miles deep.
What is the duration of One False Move?
The duration of One False Move is 1.75 hours.
How does the movement of earths plates cause earthquakes?
The plates rub together causing the rocks to move and it causes the ground to shake forming an earthquake. The more the plates move, the bigger the earthquake number.
When was One False Move created?
One False Move was created on 1992-05-08.
