What type of mountains are formed when tension causes large blocks of Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks?
Large blocks of Earth's crust that drops down relative to other blocks, will form a rift valley (trench). The Great Rift Valley in Africa is one example.
What term describes down-dropped blocks of crust bounded by steeply dipping normal faults?
These down-dropped blocks of crust are called grabens. Grabens are formed by the extensional forces that cause the crust to stretch and create space for the down-dropped blocks between the steeply dipping normal faults.
What are large crack in Earth's crust called?
Fault
What is a fracture along which blocks of crust move relitive to each other?
That's called a 'fault line'.
When large blocks bend due to stress it is called?
folding
What is the study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust?
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called plate tectonics :)
The study of crustal changes caused by movements of large blocks beneath the crust is called?
plate tectonics
What type of mountain would most likel be formed fro large blocks of Earth's crust tilting and moving relative to other blocks of crust?
fault block

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".
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
Large blocks of rock under the Earth's crust are known as tectonic plates. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere and interact with each other, leading to various geological processes like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and mountain formation. The movement of these plates is responsible for shaping the Earth's surface over millions of years.
What kind of tectonic stress causes fault-block mountains?
faulting causes large blocks of the Earth's crust to drop down relative to other blocks
What is a slow motion of huge blocks ofearths crust is called?
This phenomenon is called tectonic plate movement. It occurs when large segments of the Earth's crust, known as tectonic plates, slowly shift and move over time. These movements can result in various geological events such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
What is the name of the large landmasses called that is part of the Earths crust?
The large landmasses on Earth's crust are called continents. These are the major divisions of land on our planet.
What term describes down-dropped blocks of crust bounded by steeply dipping normal faults?
These down-dropped blocks of crust are called grabens. Grabens are formed by the extensional forces that cause the crust to stretch and create space for the down-dropped blocks between the steeply dipping normal faults.
What are large crack in Earth's crust called?
Fault
What are large sections of the Earth's crust called?
Plates
