What else can I help you with?
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
What is the geological theory that states that pieces of Earth's crust are in constant slow motion called?
The geological theory that states that pieces of Earth's crust are in constant slow motion is called plate tectonics. This theory explains how the Earth's lithosphere is divided into plates that move and interact with each other, leading to phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain building.
Crust under the ocean is called?
Crust under the oceans is called oceanic crust.
What is the outer bit of earth called?
It is called the crust
What is earth crust broken into pieces called?
Earth's crust broken into pieces is called tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid layer of the mantle and interact with each other at plate boundaries, leading to various geological activities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What do you call a fractured surface on earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion?
A fractured surface on the Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion is called a fault.
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
What is the study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust?
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called plate tectonics :)
What term describes down-dropped blocks of crust bounded by steeply dipping normal faults?
These down-dropped blocks of crust are called grabens. Grabens are formed by the extensional forces that cause the crust to stretch and create space for the down-dropped blocks between the steeply dipping normal faults.
What is the crack in the crust whose sides show evidence of motion called?
fault
What is the very slow motion of huge blocks of Earth's crust?
The very slow motion of huge blocks of the Earth's crust is referred to as plate tectonics. This movement is driven by the heat generated from within the Earth, causing the tectonic plates to gradually shift and interact with one another, leading to various geological phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain building.
What is geological theory called that states that pieces of earth crust are in slow motion is called what?
Convection currents.
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called?
plate tectonics
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.
Mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault?
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault
The geological theory that states that pieces of earth crust are in constant slow motion is called?
ask google
What are large blocks of crust called?
plates There are continental plates (thick and made of granite) and oceanic plates (thin and made of basalt).
