What else can I help you with?
What are small, often unfelt shifts of Earth's crust called?
Earth tremors
What is a vent in the earths crust in which melted rock comes out?
A vent in the Earth's crust where melted rock comes out is called a volcano. It is typically a rupture in the Earth's surface through which molten magma, volcanic ash, and gases are ejected during an eruption. Volcanoes are essential in shaping the Earth's geology and are often found along tectonic plate boundaries.
An underwater canyon where oceanic crust bends downward is called a?
It's often called a trench.
Which boundary separates the earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle?
The boundary that separates the Earth's crust and the cooler part of the mantle is called the Mohorovičić discontinuity or Moho. It marks the transition between the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle.
What are large areas of earths crust that are pushed up called?
Pushed up : mountain Pushed down: crater/land stop
what are small often unfelt shifts of earth’s crust called?
Earth tremors
How does stress in the crust change earths crust?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
What are small, often unfelt shifts of Earth's crust called?
Earth tremors
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What is an opening in the earths crust through which volcanic materials pass to the earths surface?
An opening in the Earth's crust through which volcanic materials pass to the Earth's surface is called a volcanic vent. Magma from beneath the Earth's surface is forced upwards through these vents, often resulting in volcanic eruptions.
What is Wrinkling of earths crust called?
The wrinkling of the Earth's crust is called "folding." This geological process occurs when tectonic forces compress the crust, causing it to bend and form folds. These folds can create various landforms, such as mountains and hills, and are often associated with regions of tectonic activity. The study of these structures is a key aspect of structural geology.
What is it when the earths crust splits apart a ravine called a what valley is formed?
When the earth's crust splits apart and a ravine is formed, it is called a rift valley. Rift valleys are created by the stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust, often associated with tectonic plate movements or volcanic activity. Examples of rift valleys include the East African Rift and the Rhine Valley in Europe.
What is a thin place on Earths crust called where a volcanoes can form?
A thin place on Earth's crust where a volcano can form is called a "hotspot." This is a location where magma from the mantle rises to the surface, often creating volcanic activity. As the magma erupts through the Earth's crust, it can result in the formation of volcanic features like volcanoes, lava flows, and volcanic islands.
Are there often earthquakes before volcanoes?
Earthquakes are a common precursor to Volcanic eruptions due to shifts in the planets crust caused by the shifting of magma underneath the earth.
What name is given to the area where volcanoes often occurs because convection in the earths mantle produces a column of magma that rises into the crust?
hotspots
