Summary Author: Dave Lynch. A fault is a crack in a rock along which slippage has occurred. If thereâs no movement, the crack is called a joint. Most faults are small, even microscopic. Only the large ones get names, like the San Andreas Fault. The upper picture shows a small fault in fine-grained basaltic rock that was intruded by molten quartz.
