Yes. This is known as an earthquake and is caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
Earthquake
The picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier is referred to as glacial erosion. This process involves the glacier scraping and plucking rocks and sediment from the ground as it flows, and can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.
Because most of the earth's surface is not perfectly flat.Some places are high er, and some places are lower.Gravity is aways pulling things from high places down to low places.This downhill movement of earth's material caused by gravity is called mass wasting.Mass wasting depends largely on how steep a slope is.
The 4 September earthquake was caused by movement along the Greendale fault (a break in the rocks below the earth's surface) near to Christchurch. It happened when the forces within the earth became greater than the friction holding rocks together. As the rocks moved the vibrations caused the ground to shake. The fault had been hidden below the gravels of the Canterbury Plains.
the movement in the rocks dosnot cause the ground to shake?
No
Yes. This is known as an earthquake and is caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
Hydrogeology is a branch of Earth science, it is mainly based on the study of ground water movement over soil and rocks.Hydrogeology is the study of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust.
The movement of the waves.
the movement of rocks and mantle beneath the earth crust
Earthquake
An avalanche
They are rocks that formed from cooled lava on the earth's surface.
