Faults are fractures or zones of weakness in the Earth's crust where rocks have moved relative to each other due to tectonic forces. They can vary in scale from small cracks to major geological features, often associated with earthquakes. Faults are classified into three main types: normal, reverse (or thrust), and strike-slip, depending on the direction of movement. These geological structures play a crucial role in shaping landscapes and influencing seismic activity.
What else can I help you with?
How are are earths faults different from your faults?
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.
Why are there are almost no extrusive ultra basic rocks in earths crust?
There are almost no extrusive rocks on the earths surface because they are all under the earths surface. They are mainly lower than the earths surface.
Once the elastic limit of rock is passed they break and move along surface called?
faults
How do fossils provide evidence for moving plates?
Their evidence comes from rocks at earths surface.

Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
What are the three mayor faults?
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.
