At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
What produces the force that cause earthquakes as rocks move and break?
The force that cause Earthquakes as rocks to move and break are called plate tectonics
When plate movement causes rocks to break what is is called?
actually convection is wrong the correct answer would be called faulting
What would cause a major earthquake in B.C.?

When rocks bend without breaking because of plate movement it's called .?
