In terms of size:
Faults:: often the largest, > 1000s km in length and
Faults
extends several 10 km in the earth’s crust. Occur
in all rock types
Bedding planes:
planes: may extend more than 100s km
and thickness of few m. Occur in sedimentary &
metamorphic rocks.
Joints:: is the smallest, with length of few m.
Joints

Rock close to the fault may store residual strain in
the form of shear stress. Fault is large fracture or
discontinuity in rock.

Plane failure:
failure:
Associated with
sliding of unstable
block along a single
distinctive inclined
weakness plane.
Weakness plane can
be bedding or fault
(joints create smaller
plane failure).

failure:
Associated with
sliding of unstable
block (wedge) along
two intersecting &
inclined weakness
planes.

faults (not bedding
plane).

Flexural toppling:
toppling:
Associated with
bending of unstable
(slender) rock blocks,
not associated with
sliding along
weakness planes.
Common in rock

joint sets and folded
beddings that are
almost vertical in
orientation.
