This is known as a fault.
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
That's called a 'fault line'.
A fault line, or plate boundary.
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.

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.
That is called a fault. A fault is a break in the Earth's crust where rocks on either side can move relative to each other due to tectonic forces.
The fracture along blocks of crust (tectonic plates) is called a "fault" or "fault line".
A fault is a fracture where blocks of the Earth's crust move relative to one another. This movement can be lateral, vertical, or diagonal, and it is often caused by tectonic forces. Earthquakes can occur along faults when the built-up stress is released suddenly.
A fault
This process is known as tectonic deformation, which refers to the changes in the shape and structure of the Earth's crust due to tectonic forces. This can result in faulting, where rocks break and move along a fracture, or folding, where rocks are bent or warped without breaking.
When rocks break, they move along the surface in a process known as faulting. This movement can occur due to tectonic forces, causing the rocks to break and move along fractures known as faults.
The rocks move past each other horizontally.
No
That's called a 'fault line'.
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
