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.
What happens to earths Crust after earthquake?
After an earthquake, the Earth's crust can experience permanent displacements, such as shifting along fault lines. This can lead to the creation of new landforms or changes in the landscape. In some cases, the crust may also undergo temporary deformation, which can gradually return to its original state over time.
Does an earthquake mean there is a movement in the earths crust?
Yes, an earthquake is caused by the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's crust. The build-up of stress along plate boundaries leads to sudden release of energy in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
How is most of the energy of an earthquake transported through the earths crust?
This is a Study Island Question. The answer is by seismic waves
Earths thin rocky outer layer is its .?

What results from a shifting of the Earths crust?

What is a crak in the earths crust that can lead to an earthquake called?
A crack in the Earth's crust that can lead to an earthquake is called a fault.
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
What do earthquake waves travel through?
earthquake waves travel through the earths crust.
When land masses on earths crust are moving what is it called?

What is the term for smaller movements of the earths crust that follow an earthquake?
Aftershocks.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earths crust?
True((;
What happens scientifically during an earthquake?
There is a sudden movement in the earths crust in an earthquake. However, lava does not appear
When earthquake happen when these sections of earth crust move?
earthquakes happen when these sections of earths crust move
What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?
The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
Is the shifting of the earths crust with the release of energy a p wave?
no it's an earthquake.
