What is faulting?

Faulting is a geological process in which rocks along a fault line break and move relative to each other. This movement can be caused by tectonic forces, such as the shifting of tectonic plates, or by other factors such as volcanic activity or human-induced activities like mining or reservoir-induced seismicity. Faulting can result in the formation of faults, fractures, and other geological features, and can also lead to earthquakes.
