creep
What is the name of the break in Earth's crust where movement of rock occurs?
A break in the Earth's crust along which there has been some movement is a fault. A fault is considered a planar fracture.
What do geologists use to monitor the upward movement along a fault?
Geologists use a tiltmeter to monitor the upward movement along a fault.
What is the vibration caused when there is movement along a fault?
It causes and earthquake
What happens to rock layers along a fault?
Usually along a fault the rock layers are broken and displaced in some manner so that the rock layers are not continuous across the fault.

How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along the normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.

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 fault creep?
Fault creep is slow movement along a fault line with NO resulting earthquake.
