What is formed when plates within the earths crust bend and crack Earth's crust?
When plates within the Earth's crust bend and crack, faults are formed. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the break. These movements can be either vertical or horizontal, causing earthquakes.
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is called a?
Fault.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
A crack in the earths crust caused by tectonic plate movement is?
A crack in the Earth's crust caused by tectonic plate movement is known as a fault. Faults occur when stress from the movement of tectonic plates exceeds the strength of rocks, leading to a fracture. The movement along these faults can result in earthquakes, as the rocks on either side slip past each other. The study of faults is crucial for understanding seismic activity and assessing earthquake risks.

A crack in earths crust?
Fault
What is the difference between a crack in the earths crust and a fault?
A crack in the Earth's crust is a fracture where rocks have pulled apart, whereas a fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture plane. In other words, a fault is a type of crack in the Earth's crust that has undergone displacement.
A zone of weakness or a break in earths crust is known as?
This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
A blank is a crack in Earths crust?
Tectonic Plate.
What is foult?
A *fault* is a slip or crack in the earths crust.
What is a crack in the rock of the Earth where movement has occurred?
A crack in the earth's crust would more correctly be termed a discontinuity (this may also be known as a fracture or fissure). A discontinuity on which relative movement has occurred is known as a fault.
A crack in the earth's crust where movement has occurred?
This is known as a fault. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side have moved relative to each other. Movement along faults can cause earthquakes.
What is a deep crack in the earths crust called?
A fault.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
What are plate movement?
the movement of earths plates or crust
