crust
NOUN-thing

2. Many earthquakes happen along the cracks in the Earth’s crust
known as fault lines.
crust means:
a. Molten middle of the Earth
b. A slice of bread
c. Outermost layer
In the first sentence, the words shift and movement give clues as to what
the crust does. On Earth, the outermost layer is a hard, rocky layer that

sentence, where cracks occur on the outer layer are the fault lines, which
are where earthquakes occur.
