This is known as a fault. A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust along which movement has occurred. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
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.
A fracture in rock along which there has been no movement is called a joint. Joints form when rocks are subjected to stress but do not move or shift along the fracture surface. Joints are common features in many rock formations and can affect the overall stability and behavior of the rock mass.
The breaking point in the layers of the Earth is known as a fault. It is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along the break. Faults are regions of high stress where earthquakes can occur due to the release of accumulated energy from tectonic forces.
Fractures in rocks where movement occurs are called faults. These are surfaces along which rocks have broken and moved in response to stress. Faults are commonly found at tectonic plate boundaries and can result in earthquakes when movement happens along them.

A crack in the rocks of the earth's crust where no movement has occurred is known as a joint. Joints are fractures in the rocks that do not show any displacement and are caused by stress or pressure within the earth's crust. They often provide pathways for fluids to move through the rocks.

Calcaneal fractures, also known as Lover's fracture and Don Juan fracture, are a fracture of the calcaneus or heel. A Nondisplaced calcaneus fracture is a stable fracture where the broken ends of the bones meet up correctly and are aligned.
No, a gap in the geologic record formed when sedimentary rocks cover an eroded surface is not called a fault. This is known as an unconformity, which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition in the rock record. Faults, on the other hand, are breaks in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred along a fracture.
