How does the movement of the crust along a thrust fault differ from that along a normal fault?
The movement of the crust along a thrust fault is usually a reverse movement unlike the movement along a normal fault.
Movement along the earths surface caused by an earthquake?

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.

What happens along a fault beneath earths surface when earthquakes happen?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.

An is a crack or break in the bedrock along which no movement has occurred?
a fracture
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.
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.
