How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
Crack in earths crust?
Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults. They are typically a result of the action of tectonic forces and may be the cause of earthquakes.
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended

What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
Faults

What causes the earths crust to rise and fall?
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
Faults can form in which layer of the earth?
Faults are formed at the outer solid layers of the Earth. They are developed within the earths crust or Lithosphere.
What are the three mayor faults?
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.
How do motions affect Earth's crust?
Plate motions produce stress in Earths crust that leads to faults, mountain building, and earthquakes.
What is the term for the sudden movement of rock along fractures of faults in the earths crust?
The term is 'earthquake'.
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movements occur?
fault
