How are faults related to plate tectonics?

A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. ... Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. Faults have no particular length scale.

Hope it helped u if

a characteristic is a deep cut in the earth or left over rock aka till.  

because the two particles have an equal charge, the charges will cancel out and give the atom an overall charge of 0. so, if at atom has 35 protons in the nucleus, we could expect it to have 35 electrons orbiting that nucleus.
