Fault, in geology, a planar or gently curved fracture in the rocks of Earth’s crust, where compressional or tensional forces cause relative displacement of the rocks on the opposite sides of the fracture. They range in length from a few centimeters to m
5.1Fault Scenarios: Earth Faults Earth faultsmay occur for a number of reasons. For example, a fault to earth in PV cabling systems may arise due to insulation damaged duringinstallation, subsequent impact or abrasion damage to the cable sheath, or vermin damage. Earth faults may also develop ...
San Andreas Fault, major fracture of the Earth’s crust in extreme western North America. The fault trends northwestward for more than 800 miles (1,300 km) from the northern end of the Gulf of California through western California, U.S., passing seaward
In geology, afaultis a break or crack in a stone, rock, or piece of earth.Faultscan be small or large.Faultsin the Earth are noteworthy because when a piece of rock attached to a fault moves or breaks, it can cause earthquakes in the surrounding area. ...

Data-driven machine-learning for predicting instantaneous and future fault-slip in laboratory experiments has recently progressed markedly, primarily due to large training data sets. In Earth however, earthquake interevent times range from 10’s-100’s of years and geophysical data typically exist for...
