It's called a fault. We can define fault as a crack or fracture in Earth's crust along which rock on one side has moved relative to rock on the other.
A fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust where movement has occurred due to stress buildup. Different types of faults include normal, reverse, and strike-slip, each characterized by their unique movements. Understanding faults is crucial as they are linked to earthquakes and natural resource exploration.
