What else can I help you with?
A fracture surface along which rocks can slip is called what?
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.
What do we call a crack or break along which rocks move?
A fault line, or plate boundary.
What is a crack in the rocks of the earths crust where no movement has occurred?
A crack in the rocks of the earth's crust where no movement has occurred is known as a joint. Joints are fractures in the rocks that do not show any displacement and are caused by stress or pressure within the earth's crust. They often provide pathways for fluids to move through the rocks.
Is a movement or trembling of the ground that is caused by a sudden of energy when rocks move along a fault?
Earthquake
What is Another name for a fracture along which rock move is a?
Fault
What is a fracture in rock along which there has been no movement?
A fracture in rock along which there has been no movement is called a joint. Joints form when rocks are subjected to stress but do not move or shift along the fracture surface. Joints are common features in many rock formations and can affect the overall stability and behavior of the rock mass.
A fracture surface along which rocks can slip is called what?
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
What is the fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
A Fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
A fault is a fracture where blocks of the Earth's crust move relative to one another. This movement can be lateral, vertical, or diagonal, and it is often caused by tectonic forces. Earthquakes can occur along faults when the built-up stress is released suddenly.
The fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
A fault
Movements in the crust that cause the faulting or folding or rocks is called?
This process is known as tectonic deformation, which refers to the changes in the shape and structure of the Earth's crust due to tectonic forces. This can result in faulting, where rocks break and move along a fracture, or folding, where rocks are bent or warped without breaking.
When rocks break they move along the surface called?
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
What happens to rock along strike slip fault?
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
Does the rocks along a fault move the ground stgays still?
No
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.
What do you call a break or crack along which rocks move?
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
