    A crack in crustal rock is called a fracture.

    Here's a breakdown of different types of fractures:

    * Joint: A fracture with no significant movement along the crack.

    * Fault: A fracture with significant movement along the crack.

    * Fissure: A narrow crack or opening, often associated with volcanic activity.
