In geology, a fault is a fracture in the surface of the Earth that occurs when a plane of rocks are under extreme stress and break. No movement of the two planes after the fracture results in a joint as opposed to a fault. Motion cements a fracture's classification as a fault. The two parts of the fractured plane grinding against one another can result in an earthquake or deformation of the Earth's crust. Faults can be classified into four types based on the kind of motion between the separated plates: normal, reverse, strike-slip, and oblique. Anderson's Fault Theory (1905) is a way of classifying faults by use of principal stress.
