When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
Why do isostasy occurs?
equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses equillibrium in earths crust such that the force tending to elevate land masses balance the forces tending to depress land masses
Earths thin rocky outer layer is its .?
crust
How does a strike slip fault lead to an earthquake?
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
How do gravity affect earths crust?
Gravity constantly pulls on the Earth's crust, causing it to deform and shift over time. The force of gravity also plays a role in driving tectonic plate movements, which result in earthquakes, mountains, and other geological features. Overall, gravity contributes to the dynamic nature of the Earth's crust.

When is earths Crust destroyed?
The Earth's crust is destroyed when subduction occurs.
What are cracks in earths crust that move or shift?
Tectonic plates.
What occurs when the earths crust is squeezed into smaller space?
compression
What often occurs along faults or breaks in earths crust where movement occurs?
earthquakes
What caused the earthquake of japan?
The earthquake and tsunami were caused by a shift in the earths crust.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.
What occurs when rocks layers bend due to stress in the Earths crust?
I found that folding happens
Which formation occurs when magma pushes all the way through the exterior of the earths crust?
volcanic mountain
What is the size of the earths crust?
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
