A sharp cliff caused by sudden movements along dip-slip faults is called an earthquake. It causes the ground to shake for several seconds.

They are caused primarily by shear stress.
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.
Reverse / thrust faults.

Normal faults are caused by tension in the movement of rocks
faults are caused by the plates under neath earth crashing together and/or parting

Reverse failts are caused by compression. Normal faults however are formed by tension.
seismic waves
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
