A fissure I think, been a long time since I did geography though
A large crack in the ground is called a fault which is caused by and earthquake.

A large crack in the Earth's crust is commonly referred to as a fissure or a fault line. These cracks can form due to tectonic movements or other geological processes, and they can vary in size depending on the scale of movement.
The Chile earthquake, powerful as it was, was not nearly powerful enough to tilt the earth. If you imagine a large bell in a cathedral and you hit that bell with a spoon, that is about the effect that an earthquake has on the earth as a whole. It caused some MAJOR destruction and caused Chile to pay millions for the damage, and many people were killed or injured.
A large crack in the earth formed by a river is called a canyon, while a crack formed by an earthquake is called a fault. Canyons are typically created over a long period of time due to erosion caused by flowing water, while faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred due to tectonic forces.
A large crack in the ground formed by a river is called a gorge or canyon. If it is formed by a series of earthquakes, it is called a fault line or fissure.

A deep crack in the earth's surface is known as a fault or a fissure. These cracks can result from tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, or erosion. They can vary in size from small fractures to large chasms, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.

A fissure is a long crack or opening in the land caused by earth movement, such as an earthquake or tectonic activity. It can range in size from small to large and can pose a hazard to structures and individuals near the area.

My guess is on earth probably in the ocean or on pangea or something. There also was a large earthquake everyday when meteors hit the earth and added to the earths mass to create the planet.
