In geology, a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement as a result of rock mass movement. Large faults within the Earth's crust result from the action of plate tectonic forces, with the largest forming the boundaries between the plates, such as subduction zones or transform faults. Energy release associated with rapid movement on active faults is the cause of most earthquakes.
A fault plane is the plane that represents the fracture surface of a fault. A fault trace or fault line is the intersection of a fault plane with the ground surface. A fault trace is also the line commonly plotted on geologic maps to represent a fault.
Since faults do not usually consist of a single, clean fracture, geologists use the term fault zone when referring to the zone of complex deformation associated with the fault plane.
The two sides of a non-vertical fault are known as the hanging wall and footwall. By definition, the hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below the fault. This terminology comes from mining: when working a tabular ore body, the miner stood with the footwall under his feet and with the hanging wall hanging above him.

He is the presidential candidate few saw coming. His rise was baffling, dramatic, and to many, completely unexpected. Donald Trump won more votes than any other candidate in a Republican primary in US history. As Donald Trump takes the reins of the Republic Party, Fault Lines examines the rise of the billionaire businessman, from reality TV star to a populist who has managed to capture the support of a large, and often angry, voter base. How did he get so far? And who are his supporters? We travel 1,000 miles across Donald Trump's America - exploring the rust belt states of West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Indiana, where the middle class is shrinking, opportunities are dwindling and people feel that they were left behind in the country's economic recovery.

Earthquake Fault Lines in America - ABC News
Since 2010, police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have shot 40 people, 27 of whom have died from their injuries. For a city of just 550,000 people, Albuquerque now has the highest rate of fatal shootings by police in the US, eight times that of the police in New York City and nearly double that of Chicago's police department. In early 2014, police officers killed James Boyd, a homeless man with a history of schizophrenia. His killing, caught on an officer's body camera, sparked national outrage over police brutality, and two officers are facing murder charges for the fatal shooting. It's the first time in decades that an Albuquerque police department (APD) shooting has led to criminal proceedings against an officer. Yet, in the last few years alone, the city has paid tens of millions of ...

Life in Chicago's poorest neighbourhoods can sometimes feel like a warzone. In 2015, an average of one person every three hours was shot in Chicago - more than in any other city in the US. Over the course of the calendar year, there were nearly 3,000 shooting victims in the so-called Windy City. According to a recent American Academy of Pediatrics study, 14 million, or one in five, children in the US are exposed to violence involving a weapon between the ages of six and 17. Chicago has struggled for years to stem the ongoing violence, but the impact goes far beyond the lives that are lost. Children are growing up without a baseline of safety, so what are the longterm impact of this continuous exposure to violence and trauma? How will the ever-present violence affect their health and ou...
More from Fault Lines on: In early March 2016, Honduras's most prominent and outspoken environmental activist, Berta Caceres, was killed in her home. While shocking, her murder did not come as a surprise to her colleagues or family. For years, Caceres had received thousands of threats because of her work, fighting for the rights of indigenous communities and for her attempts to stop a hydro-electric dam from being built on indigenous land. Her death is the latest in a string of assassinations that have made Honduras one of the world's most dangerous places for environmental activists. "Knowing what my mum was fighting for, I always understood that there are dangers because there are bad people, business and powerful economic interests," Laura Zuniga, Caceres's daughter says. In 20...

The richest 1% of US Americans earn nearly a quarter of the country's income and control an astonishing 40% of its wealth. Inequality in the US is more extreme than it's been in almost a century -- and the gap between the super rich and the poor and middle class people has widened drastically over the last 30 years. Meanwhile, in Washington, a bitter partisan debate over how to cut deficit spending and reduce the US' 14.3 trillion dollar debt is underway. As low and middle class wages stagnate and unemployment remains above 9%, Republicans and Democrats are tussling over whether to slash funding for the medical and retirement programs that are the backbone of the US's social safety net, and whether to raise taxes -- or to cut them further. The budget debate and the economy are the battle...

The United States spent more than a decade and tens of billions of dollars to arm and train the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) combat the Taliban. A core part of NATO's strategy to gradually transfer power and withdraw from the country, the ANSF took control of the country's security late last year, and have since led the fight against the armed group. But in August 2014, 15 civilians were killed and 13 others wounded when a joint US-Afghan special forces operation targeting the insurgents went wrong. Fault Lines has conducted a year-long investigation to piece together what happened that day in Charkh District. In this exclusive film we gather eyewitness testimony detailing abuses by Afghan forces - and raising questions about who ultimately is to blame. -Subscribe to our cha...
Once known as a booming industrial city and a model of economic progress in Mexico, the border city of Juarez has become infamous as the murder capital of the world. More than 8,000 people have been killed there since 2008, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon sent in the army to carry out his offensive against the drug cartels. The official story is that the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels are fighting for the city and the access it provides to the multi-billion dollar US drug market only a few hundred metres away. On this episode of Fault Lines, Josh Rushing travels to Ciudad Juarez, and asks how human life there came to be worth so much less than the drugs being trafficked through.

I'm wasting breath on the phone
Just leave me alone she said
Before I got to speaking
My mind's a fault line
And she asks me all the time
Will we make sense, can you not drink
When will we fuck?
But I'm counting sheep and still can't sleep
Neither can she
