What forms when deformation causes the lithosphere to break?

When deformation causes the lithosphere to break, faults can form. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred, resulting in the displacement of rock layers. These fractures can range in size from small fissures to large fault lines and are associated with earthquakes and other tectonic activity.


What are cracks in the lithosphere called?

Cracks in the lithosphere are called faults. These are fractures along which rocks have moved in response to stress, such as tension, compression, or shear forces. Faults are important in understanding the dynamics of plate tectonics and can lead to earthquakes when they suddenly release accumulated strain.


What happens to the lithosphere as fault-block mountains form?

As fault-block mountains form, the lithosphere is stretched and pulled apart along fault lines. This stretching causes the crust to fracture and blocks of rock to move vertically, creating a series of alternating valleys and ridges. Over time, the fault-block mountains continue to uplift and erode, shaping the landscape.


Is earthquakes a result when forces push tectonic plates along faults in earth's lithosphere true or false?

True. Earthquakes occur when there is a release of energy along faults in the Earth's lithosphere due to the movement of tectonic plates. The stress and pressure build up along these fault lines until it is released as seismic waves, causing an earthquake.


How concept map for the words geospherecrustmantle inner core outer core core lithosphere asthenosphere mesosphere compositional layerand physical layer?

A concept map for these terms could show the hierarchical relationship between them, with the geosphere at the top, followed by the layers of the Earth such as crust, mantle, and core. This could then branch out to the compositional layers (lithosphere, asthenosphere, mesosphere) and the physical layers (inner core, outer core). Connecting lines could indicate the relationships between the layers and how they interact to form the Earth's structure.

What most effectively outlines the edges of the lithosphere plates?

The lines of earthquake epicenters most effectively outline the edges of the lithosphere plates. The epicenter refers to the point on the earth's surface above the focus of an earthquake.

What does a Scart Cable do?

A scart cable is a European interface. It uses rectangular connectors with 21 pins and has been the standard video interface between players and monitors for many years. It carries video (composite, YC, component or RGB), stereo audio and control lines and provides a two way interface. It is fully analogue and is being used less as HDMI becomes the standard interface.


What is produced by movements of faults around the lithosphere and asthenosphere?

The lithosphere is the Earth's outermost crust. The asthenosphere is a ductile, somewhat deformable, layer 60-150 miles (100-250 km) below the Earth's surface, under the lithosphere. Movements between the two layers cause earthquakes.
