In geology, a place where sections of the crust of the Earth move relative to each other. (See earthquake and San Andreas fault.) Note: Faults tend to occur near the edges of tectonic plates.

A theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust and many associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that move slowly over the underlying mantle.
