Fault

Explanation:

A break or crack in earth's lithosphere along with rocks move. Earth is made up of 4 basic layers a crust, mantle, outer core, inner core and lithosphere. A solid crust and hard layers of mantle make up a region name the lithosphere. The lithosphere is made up of pieces of tectonic plates. These plates are constantly changing and move towards the mantle. Non-stop movement of tectonic plates causes stress on the earth's outermost layer i. e, the crust. When these stresses extends it leads to cause cracks called faults.
