Fracture

"Fracture" refers to the dislocation or cracking of rock stratum. It can be classified into three categories:

Cleavage: slight degree of rupture which does not obviously ruin the continuity of the rock.

Joint: a type of rupture where stratum has cracked, but no obvious relative displacement occurs to two rock walls.

Fault: the most important category of rupture where obvious relative displacement occurs to two cracked rock walls.
