What effect might an earthquake along this fault have on a river that runs perpendicular to the fault?
The two parts of the river might slide horizontally in opposite directions
What else can I help you with?
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
What is the area along the fault where an earthquake begins?
The area along the fault where an earthquake begins is called the focus or hypocenter. This is the point within the Earth where the seismic energy is first released, generating seismic waves that cause the ground shaking we feel during an earthquake.
What Is the place along a fault where the slipping that causes an earthquake begins?
The place along a fault where the slipping that causes an earthquake begins is called the "focus" or "hypocenter." This is the point within the Earth where the energy is released, initiating the seismic activity that generates an earthquake.
Where is the focus of an earthquake?
The focus (more correctly termed the hypocenter) of an earthquake is the point in the earth where the earthquake rupture or fault movement actually occurred. The point on the surface directly above the hypocenter is known as the epicenter.
What fault line did the 1931 napier earthquake happen on?
The Napier-Hastings fault. Its' a blind fault and only ruptured he surface along a 15km stretch of the fault.
What effect of of earthquake?
The ground shakes, and the earth is displaced along a section of the earthquake fault.
What effect Large sudden rock movements occur along a fault?
The effect is generally known as an earthquake.
What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What happens alonge a fault beneath earths surface when an earthquake happens?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
elastic rebound?
the tendency for the deformed rock along a fault to spring back after an earthquake
What is the place along a fault where the slipping that causes begins the earthquake?
fault line
What is fault creep?
Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.
What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is a slow movement along a fault called?
An Earthquake!
Where most earthquake's occur?
Along fault lines.
When does an earthquake occur along a fault?
plates of the earth crash into each other along faults causing an earthquake
What happenes if the earth's crust moves suddenly along a fault?
A sudden shift of the earth's crust along a fault could result in an earthquake.
