Faults themselves don't move; they're cracks in between tectonic plates which do the moving. The plates move due to slow-moving convection currents underneath. It's basically slowly circulating magma that slowly pushes the plates along. As plates slide and collide with each other, they change the shape and position of the faults in between.

What are faults in california?

What is a break in the earths crust called that can move up down or sideways?
A break in the Earth's crust that can move up, down, or sideways is called a fault. Faults are classified based on the direction of movement, with different types including normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
How does faults relate to earthquake?
The faults makes the land "break" or seperate. Also it makes the land to shake. Also, the earthquakes shake the land. That's how they're similar.
