A fault is a crack or fracture in the earth's crust. In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.
A fracture is the (local) separation of an object or material into two, or more, pieces under the action of stress. The word fracture is often applied to crystals or crystalline materials, such as gemstones or metal. Sometimes, in crystalline materials, individual crystals fracture without the body actually separating into two or more pieces. Depending on the substance which is fractured, a fracture reduces strength (most substances) or inhibits transmission of light (optical crystals).
a fracture is a mark left on a mineral when it chips or breaks.
it means if the mineral is fragile or not, and this all depends on the Mohs hardness scale
fracture is the tendency of a mineral to break into irregular pieces.

If you are asking what is another word for it... A fissure or Fault(line).
Yes all metals are in the earths crust in ore form.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
The earth's crust is not stress
Yes, Compression can thicken the earths crust and tension can cause thinning in the earths crust.

The earths crust is a part of the outermost layer.
Silicon is a mixture of the minerals of the earths crust. so.... silicon isn't something from the earths crust. -thanks for your question.
thinner and denser
The Earths crust is approximately 650 km deep.
how wide is the earths crust
The abundance of neodymium in the earths crust is approx. 40 ppm.
