Faults are actually the reason earthquakes start. A fault is two Techtonic Plates
rubbing against each other, creating tension and stress. When the
tension and stress overcomes the strength of the fault, the two plates slip/move,
causing the ground to move in various ways, which is also called an earthquake.
Techtonic Plates: plates made up of the earths crust that are moving along a
layer of magma inside the earth,called the mantle.
The difference between a joint and a fault begins with size. The joint is much smaller than the fault. The joint has very little movement while the fault often has lateral movement.
Joint is a fracture in bodies where there is no relative displacement while there is relative displacement in fault
. What is the difference between a faul and a fracture?
Badly worded question, but I think you're talking about a fault?
It is the same
A fracture is when rock splits (cracks). A fault is when a fracture has slipped - movement either up, down or sideways.

A fault is a crack or fracture in the earth's crust. In geology, a fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.
A fault is, generally speaking, a fracture in a rock formation which indicates crustal movement on either side. A fault is a specific type of rock fracture, for which there are many causes.
what the difference between clevrage and fracture
hair line fracture
No
It's a fracture you can only see on an x-ray.
Badly worded question, but I think you're talking about a fault?
A Fracture is a break and a dislocation is when a joint comes out its socket
An avulsion fracture is when you pull a ligament or tendon from a bone and a piece of that bone comes with it. It is not actually a "fracture". A fracture is a break.

A simple fracture - results in a 'clean' break across the bone. A green-stick fracture is an incomplete break.
A fracture is when rock splits (cracks). A fault is when a fracture has slipped - movement either up, down or sideways.
