What else can I help you with?
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
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.
What is a break in the earths crust called that can move up down or sideways?
A break in the Earth's crust that can move up, down, or sideways is called a fault. Faults are classified based on the direction of movement, with different types including normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
Which type of faults results from horizontal shearing between plates?
The type of faults that result from horizontal shearing between tectonic plates are known as strike-slip faults. In these faults, the movement of the crust occurs laterally, parallel to the fault line, often caused by tectonic forces that lead to horizontal displacement. A well-known example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California. These faults can lead to significant geological activity, including earthquakes.
When two normal faults forn parallel to each other a block of rockis left lying between them and as the normal fault slips downward the block in between moves upward forming a?
fault block mountian
Cracks in Earths crust where surrounding rock has moved or shifted are called?
Faults.
An uplift of a block of land between two parallel faults is a?
HORST
What often happens along large cracks called faults at the edge of the Earths plates?
Earthquakes
What do you call the deep cracks in the earths crust along which the crust shifted?
Trenches if they are in zones of subduction. Falt lines are in areas of shifting plates (rubbing against or parallel)
How does a rift valley from?
A rift valley is formed by the depression of a block of the earth's crust between two faults or groups of faults, of approximately parallel orientation.
Faults undergoing movement that is horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault surface are called?
Faults which appear to have displaced rock strata horizontally are called strike slip faults. The two blocks that have been displaced move in opposite directions along the fault line.
What is the Long narrow area that has dropped between two faults?
That is called a graben. It forms when the land between two parallel faults drops down due to tectonic forces pulling it apart. Grabens are common in areas with significant tectonic activity, such as along plate boundaries.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended

Differences between a fault and a fold?
Folds are the when the rock layers bend. Faults are breaks in the rock layers. Folds are called anticlines and synclines. Faults are called reverse faults, normal faults, or strike-slip faults.
