A break in the crust along which rock moves?
This is called a fault.== ==
Once the elastic limit of rock is passed they break and move along surface called?
faults
What zone of cracking in the earths crust along which movement takes place?
The zone of cracking in the Earth's crust along which movement takes place is known as a fault. Faults occur when stress on the Earth's crust exceeds its strength, causing it to break and slide past adjacent rock. These zones are often associated with seismic activity, leading to earthquakes, as the accumulated energy is released when the rocks move suddenly.
What is a planar break?
Fault (geology) : when rock on one side has moved with respect to the right sideFaults are like planar breaks in blocks of crust.Therefore, planar breaks are when one piece of crust (rock) has moved with respect to another piece of crust.
Is Convergent shearing?
Convergent shearing occurs when two tectonic plates move towards each other horizontally, causing rock layers to shear or break along a constricted zone. This can lead to the formation of strike-slip faults and deformation of the Earth's crust.

When rocks break, they move along surfaces called?
When rocks break, they move along surfaces called faults or fractures. These are planes along which the rock layers have shifted relative to each other due to stress in the Earth's crust. Movement along these surfaces can result in earthquakes.
What is a break in the crust where rock bodies move relative to each other?
A fault.
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.
Do plate movements cause forces great enough to break rocks?
yes they are. Because all the plate tectonics are part of earth's crust so basically, when they move, they somehow break the crust (which is made of rock)
Once the elastic limit of rock is passed they break and move along surface called?
faults
A break in the earths crust?
A break in the Earth's crust is called a fault. It is a fracture where the two sides of the rock move in relation to each other. Faults are a common feature in tectonically active regions where there is movement of the Earth's plates.
What do you call a break in a body of rock along which one block slides relative to another?
That is called a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the fracture.
What is a planar break?

How the blocks of the rock along a fault move?
Blocks of rock along a fault move due to tectonic forces that cause stress to build up within the Earth's crust. When this stress exceeds the strength of the rock, it causes the blocks to slip past each other along the fault plane. This movement releases energy in the form of seismic waves, resulting in an earthquake.
What happen to the crust when the molten rocks move upward?
When molten rocks move upward, they can break through the crust, creating volcanic eruptions and forming new landmasses. This process is part of plate tectonics where the movement of molten rock, or magma, plays a key role in shaping the Earth's surface.
What are two types of deformation in earth's crust?
Two types of deformation in Earth's crust are folding, where rock layers bend due to stress, and faulting, where rocks break and move along fractures called faults due to stress. These processes are common as the Earth's tectonic plates interact and undergo movement.
