  • Understanding Earth's Faults: Causes, Types & Earthquakes
    Cracks in the Earth's crust are called faults.

    Here's a little more detail:

    * Faults are fractures in the Earth's crust where rocks have moved past each other. They can be small or large, and they can occur at different depths.

    * Fault lines are the visible traces of faults on the Earth's surface.

    * Earthquakes happen when rocks on either side of a fault suddenly move past each other.
