A ground/earth fault is a fault where part of the current returns back through a path other than the opposing hot or, more critically, neutral. A neutral/earth fault is dangerous because the circuit will continue to function normally, but the hot and neutral leg currents are imbalanced, and the chassis can become energized.
Active Faults- An active fault is one that has shown recent displacement and likely has the potential to produce earthquakes. Since faulting is part of the deformation process, ancient faults can be found anywhere that deformation has taken place in the past.
