earth crust displacement
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
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 oceans is called oceanic crust.
It is called the crust
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.
A fractured surface on the Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion is called a fault.
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called plate tectonics :)
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.
fault
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.
Convection currents.
plate tectonics
That's called a 'fault line'.
what are mountains formed by blocks of crust moving along a fault

plates There are continental plates (thick and made of granite) and oceanic plates (thin and made of basalt).
