What else can I help you with?
What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
The slipping or sliding surface of parts of the Earth's surface is known as a fault line. This is where movement occurs along the surface of the Earth, resulting in earthquakes.
What are strong shaking movement of the Earths curst called?
Strong shaking movements of the Earth's crust are called earthquakes. They are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere due to tectonic plate movements. Earthquakes can result in the shaking and displacement of the ground, sometimes causing damage to buildings and infrastructure.
What are Cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes called?
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
Earhtquakes most commonly occur at what distance below earth's surface in miles?
a earthquake can really start anywhere but it is usually started at the earths core (middle). Other names are the epicenter which is were the earthquakes starts at the earths surface. The focus is where it begins inside the earth.....
The activity of the earths moving plates is called?
The activity of the Earth's moving plates is called plate tectonics. It involves the movement and interaction of large sections of the Earth's lithosphere, resulting in phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
When tectonic plates move and slip what are they called in earths crush?
They are called earthquakes.
What name is given to slipping or sliding surface of parts of the earths surface?
The slipping or sliding surface of parts of the Earth's surface is known as a fault line. This is where movement occurs along the surface of the Earth, resulting in earthquakes.
Who Studies Earthquakes and earths crusts Movements called?
A geologist studies the earth.
What often happens along large cracks called faults at the edge of the Earths plates?
Earthquakes
I want an information on earthquakes?
earthquakes are movements on the earths surface
What is most of earths major earthquakes caused by?
Earths Major Earthquakes are caused by faulting of rock in earth's crust.Hope this helps
What can earthquakes do to the earths surface?
Shake it
The point on earths surface right above the spot where the first movement of an earthquake occurs is called earthquakes?
Focus
What are the different types of earthquakes?
I think there are three types of earthquakes one is the earths crust
What are earthquakes. How do they occur?
earthquakes happen when sections of the earths crust shift.These shifting parts called plates,are actually pieces of the crust floating on the hot molten interior of the earth. The majority of earthquakes happen along the edges of those plates,and along weak areas of the crust called fault zones
Where do earthquakes usually occurr?
Earthquakes ussually occur near the tectonic plates which cover the earths surface.
How do Haiti earthquakes happen?
they just happen earthquakes are caused from the plates under earths surface moving
