What is a crack in the rock of the Earth where movement has occurred?
A crack in the earth's crust would more correctly be termed a discontinuity (this may also be known as a fracture or fissure). A discontinuity on which relative movement has occurred is known as a fault.
An is a crack or break in the bedrock along which no movement has occurred?

How tension crack causes slope failure?
Thension crack is generated by the difference in shear movement along the failure surface or slip plane. It formed in the upper slope face before the major failure surface appeared. So, the total shear resistance and thus the safety factor will reduce after this tension crack developement. However, this tension crack will stop developing when it reaches a critical depth. And, a new tension crack will develope behind that previous crack.
What is the scientific defeniton of a fault?
A crack in Earths's crust along which rocks move. It is created by a transform boundary.
