What else can I help you with?
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
A break in the earths crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. It is a fracture where the two sides of the rock move in relation to each other. Faults are a common feature in tectonically active regions where there is movement of the Earth's plates.
What do you call the sudden movement of the Earth's crust?
The sudden movement of the earth's crust is called and 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 often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
What is a A break in earths crust?
A fault
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
What is a geololgist?
a person who studies the movement of the earths crust
What causes stress earths crust?
The movement in earths plates create powerful forces that pull or squeeze the rock in the crust.
Which movement of the Earths crust implies that the continental crust is less dense than the oceanic crust?
Plate tectonic movement and subduction zones.
What occurs when the earths crust is squeezed into smaller space?
compression
A break in the earths crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. It is a fracture where the two sides of the rock move in relation to each other. Faults are a common feature in tectonically active regions where there is movement of the Earth's plates.
An earthquake is a shaking caused by the sudden movement of the earths crust?
