Answer:

Fault

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is fault because.... A fault is formed in the Earth's crust as a brittle response to stress. Generally, the movement of the tectonic plates provides the stress, and rocks at the surface break in response to this. Faults have no particular length scale.
