faulting - (geology) a crack in the earth's crust resulting from the displacement of one side with respect to the other; they built it right over a geological fault; he studied the faulting of the earth's crust. geological fault, fracture, break, fault, shift. 1  geology - a science that deals with the history of the earth as recorded in rocks. 2  fault line - (geology) line determined by the intersection of a geological fault and the earth's surface. 3  crack, scissure, cleft, crevice, fissure - a long narrow opening.
With both normal and reverse faults, movement occurs vertically. A normal fault is usually associated with plates that are diverging. Tension weakens the crust until the rock fractures, and one block of rock moves downward relative to the other. A reverse fault is usually associated with plates that are colliding. Compression forces a fault block upward. A thrust fault is a special kind of reverse fault where one or more plates are under the ocean. At a thrust fault, a plate below the sea is moving under another plate, thrusting its edge upward. The process of one plate diving under the other is called subduction. Thrust faults can produce larger earthquakes than strike-slip faults.
