What is a fracture in rock along which movement occurs?
A fracture in rock along which movement occurs is called a fault. faults are caused by stress in the Earth's crust, and can result in earthquakes when the stored energy is released through movement along the fault plane.
This type of fault occurs when rock moves downward at the fault line?
A normal fault occurs when rock is pulled apart, causing one block of rock to move downward relative to the other. This displacement is due to tensional forces acting on the earth's crust, causing the hanging wall to drop relative to the footwall along the fault plane.
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.
A crack in the earth's surface along wich movement takes place?
A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement occurs. This movement can result in earthquakes when the stress from tectonic plate movement is released.
The slow continuous movement that occurs along some fault zones is referred to as what?
The slow continuous movement that occurs along some fault zones is referred to as creep. This type of movement can happen over long periods of time without causing a sudden earthquake.
How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal 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 is true about a hanging wall?
It slips downward when movement occurs along a normal faultIt occurs when the fault is at an angle
Is true about a hanging wall?
It slips downward when movement occurs along a normal faultIt occurs when the fault is at an angle

What happens along a fault beneath Earths surface when an earthquake occurs.?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
