A fissure
Yes, an in ground pool can crack during an earthquake if it is close enough to the earthquake.
A large crack in the Earth, formed by a river or an earthquake, would be called a canyon, such as the Grand Canyon, formed by the Colorado River. A smaller crack might be called a fissure.
cracks in the ground caused by earthquakesFaults. Cracks in the earths crust usually caused by earthquakes are called faults.No, their not! Faults are to do with tectonic plates, earthquake cracks are called earthquake cracks.
A fault line works by two MASSIVE pieces of rock with a crack in between them. when they grind together or push apart, a earthquake is formed.
A fissure
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.

The crack stays there.
when there is a crack in the ground ,the ground exerts pressure and makes the water squirt from the ground forming a spring.
Plates under the ground rub against each other creating friction and therefore raise and crack the surface.
sounds like, if the rocks are plates, an earthquake... assuming this "crack" is a fault?? does this help?
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.
A six inch crack, yes. A ten foot crack, no.

A previously unknown fault activated. Alarmingly so, for ground acceleration exceeded 2g in some sites! Have a crack at Christchurch Earthquake in wikipedia, which has a good summary of events.
