What else can I help you with?
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What can up and down faulting also be called?
Up and down faulting can also be called normal faulting or graben faulting, depending on the specific geological context. These terms refer to the movement of rock blocks along faults, where one block moves downward relative to the other.
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call 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 stress causes a monocline?
Verticle stress causes monocline. Verticle stress causes monocline.
What happens during faulting?
What happens during faulting is that there is some kind of sudden pressure put on a section of crust. This causes it to break or crack, causing a fault.
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What kind of tectonic stress causes fault-block mountains?
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks
What type of boundary causes faulting?
A transform plate boundary, also known as a strike-slip boundary, causes faulting. This boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other, causing rocks to break along fault lines.
How is faulting related to earthquakes volcanoes and tsunamis?
Faulting occurs in all three of these
What can up and down faulting also be called?
Up and down faulting can also be called normal faulting or graben faulting, depending on the specific geological context. These terms refer to the movement of rock blocks along faults, where one block moves downward relative to the other.
What is is it called when plate movement causes rocks to break?
When plate movement causes rocks to break it is call an earthquake.
What causes the formation of different kind of mountains?
Some are volcanic Some are caused by continental collisions Some are caused by faulting. Others can be caused by impactors.
What is causing faulting?
Faulting is caused by the stretching or compression of rock by tectonic plate movements

What stress causes a monocline?
Verticle stress causes monocline. Verticle stress causes monocline.
What geologic event causes folding and faulting of layers?
Tectonic plate movement is the main geologic event that causes folding and faulting of layers in the Earth's crust. When plates collide or slide past each other, immense pressure and stress are exerted on the rocks, leading to folding or breaking along faults. These processes shape the Earth's surface and contribute to the formation of mountain ranges and other landforms.
