A mega earthquake is seismic activity below the earths crust that causes fluctuations in the earths tectonic plates. This forces the ground to shake and the earths crust to crack.
Gravity.
The crust is the thinnest part on the Earth.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.

Gravity.
Simple- Convection in the mantle causes mantle to slowly move, and it pushes against the crust. As it does this, the tectonic plates move.

There is no difference. The definition of fault is precisely: a crack in the Earth's crust.
The sudden vibration in the plates inside the crust causes the earths crust to rise & fall.
Tectonic Plate.
A *fault* is a slip or crack in the earths crust.
