A crack in the Earth's crust that can lead to an earthquake is called a fault.
A crack in the Earth's crust is a fracture where rocks have pulled apart, whereas a fault is a fracture where there has been movement along the fracture plane. In other words, a fault is a type of crack in the Earth's crust that has undergone displacement.
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.
When plates within the Earth's crust bend and crack, faults are formed. Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the break. These movements can be either vertical or horizontal, causing earthquakes.
