Surface current
A crack in the Earth's surface is called a fault. These are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement occurs, typically caused by tectonic forces.
Motion parallel to the ground refers to movement that occurs in a horizontal direction. This type of motion does not involve any vertical displacement and typically occurs on a flat surface. Examples include a car driving on a road or a ball rolling on the ground.

Friction is the force that resists the movement of one surface against another. It occurs when two objects are in contact and moving relative to each other. Friction is caused by the interactions between the atoms and molecules on the surfaces of the objects.
Horizontal flexion occurs in the transverse plane of motion, where the movement involves bending or flexing the body part in a horizontal direction towards the midline of the body.
The rise and fall of water caused by friction of wind on the water surface is called wind-driven ocean circulation. This movement occurs due to the transfer of momentum from the wind to the water, creating surface currents that can affect coastal areas and marine ecosystems.
The surface of a break in a rock is called a fault. It occurs when there is movement along the break, causing the rock to shift position. Faults can range in size and can be caused by tectonic forces, weathering, or other geological processes.
A fault with horizontal movement is called a strike-slip fault. This type of fault occurs when the rocks on either side of the fault move horizontally past each other. Examples of strike-slip faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.
An earthquake is a shaking that occurs in the ground. This results from movement underneath the earth's surface.
A fault is a break between areas of rock where movement occurs. This movement can be horizontal, vertical, or oblique, resulting in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released. Faults are classified based on the direction of movement, such as normal faults (extensional), reverse faults (compressional), and strike-slip faults (horizontal).
Shoulder horizontal abduction occurs in the transverse plane. This movement involves moving the arm away from the midline of the body while keeping it parallel to the ground. It is an important movement for activities such as throwing, swimming, and reaching for objects to the side.
