When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
What are fractures in rocks where movement occurrs?
Fractures in rocks where movement occurs are called faults. These are surfaces along which rocks have broken and moved in response to stress. Faults are commonly found at tectonic plate boundaries and can result in earthquakes when movement happens along them.
What happens to rock along strike slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
What do you call a break or crack along which rocks move?
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What is the rupture and sudden movement of rocks along a fault?
Earthquake
When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
Is this sentence correct As rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.

What happens to rock along strike slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
What is the mistake in this sentence As rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
The mistake in the sentence is the use of the word "permanently." While rocks can catch and temporarily halt movement along a fault, they can eventually release the stored energy and continue moving along the fault in an earthquake. Movement along faults is not permanently halted.
What is a ground movement caused by a release of energy when rocks along a fault move?
Earthquake
Is this sentence correct as rocks move past each other along a fault their rough surfaces catch permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
Is this sentence correct As rocks move past each other along fault their rough surfaces catch and permanently halt movement along the fault?
No. They (the rocks) would not be moving past each other if their movement had been permanently halted.
What do you call a break or crack along which rocks move?
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
What are breaks along which movement has occurred?
Fault lines are breaks along which movement has occurred, leading to the displacement of rocks on either side. These movements can be caused by tectonic forces that result in earthquakes.
What is a fractured surface on the earths crust when a mass of rocks is in motion?
A fractured surface on Earth's crust when a mass of rocks is in motion is known as a fault. It occurs due to the movement of tectonic plates along a fracture line. This movement can result in earthquakes as energy is released when the rocks slide past each other along the fault.
