There is no difference. The definition of fault is precisely: a crack in the Earth's crust.
A *fault* is a slip or crack in the earths crust.
An earthquake occurs deep in the earths crust caused by the displacement of two faults in the crust. Directly above the fault on the earths surface is called the epicenter. Which shows the aftermath of the strike slip fault that occured in the earths crust. So the strike slip fault is the effect of the displacement of the crust at that point deep in the earths crust which causes an earthquake to happen whenever there is a displacement of two faults.
After the earthquake, the crust has been repositioned, and frictional tension at fault lines once again begins to mount until the next earthquake.
