The movement of earth's crust along a fault is called a transform fault. At a transform fault, the plates slide past each other and crust is neither destroyed nor created. If there geological structures don't "slip" easily, energy can build up as the plates try to slide past each other. Eventually the "stuck" parts of the fault will fail and the energy stored there will be released quickly in a seismic event. An earthquake can result.
Tension is released in the form of an earthquake.
it causes an earthquake because it pushes along the edge of 2 tectonic plates and causes the eatthquake.
Huge rocks rise or fall.
Yes, Surface waves, a type of seismic wave, travels along the surface, or appears to, as it loses energy exponentially as it goes away from the surface.
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
False. Consider a car moving on the road, along the earth's surface. That is considered to be Vx or Horizontal motion or velocity. If the car were to move perpendicular to the earth's surface that would be Vy or Vertical motion and velocity.
Ground waves are radio waves which travel along the earths surface while sky waves use the earths ionosphere to reflect signals to the desired destination
The temperature changes from hot to cold or cold to hot. this makes a wind push air across the earths crust
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
The wave that can travel through earth and along earths surface is a SEISMIC wave.
Collide
it get weak
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface

Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
waves that travels only on the surface
creep is when soil moves a tree slowly down a slope.
