a fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant displacement
faults are created by the ground generating vibrations-or waves-in the rock that we feel as the ground is shaking. Faults are weaknesses in the rock and therefore earthquakes tend to occur over and over along the same faults.
This feature affects humans by when earthquakes occur, peoples homes and towns get wrecked.
