What else can I help you with?
What do you call a fractured surface on earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion?
A fractured surface on the Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion is called a fault.
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What motion causes a normal fault?
reverse .yu welcome
What word means fractured surface in Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion?
Fault.
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
What do you call a fractured surface on earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion?
A fractured surface on the Earth's crust where a mass of rock is in motion is called a fault.
What is a break or crack along which rocks moved called?
A break or crack along which rocks move is called a fault. Sudden motion along the faults result to earthquakes.
The place where Earth's slipping motion begins is called an earthquakes what?
This area is called the fault line.
The place where Earth's slipping motion begins is called an earthquakes?
This area is called the fault line.
What is the crack in the crust whose sides show evidence of motion called?
fault
What motion causes normal fault?
a pulling motion causes a normal fault
What is it called when the rocks on either side of a fault slip past each other sideways with little up or down motion?
Slip/slide fault
The place where earth's slipping motion begins is called an earthquake's what?
The place where an earthquake's slipping motion begins is called the focus or hypocenter. It is the exact point underground where the seismic energy is released.
What is a tectonic fault?
A tectonic fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. This movement can occur horizontally (strike-slip fault), vertically (normal fault), or in a complex motion (thrust fault). Faults are a primary source of earthquakes.
What type of plate motion crates a reverse fault?
The answer is by convergent plate motion.
The active boundary between a plate is what?
It is called a fault
When opposing force cause rock to break and move horizontally?
strike slip fault
