English: Joints & faults in Mississippian limestones in a Kentucky cave, USA.
Faults are fractures or fracture systems in rocks along which there's been differential displacement (offset). Joints are fractures along which there's been no differential displacement (no offset). These examples are in a limestone wall in the Pass of El Ghor, a canyon passage in western Kentucky's Mammoth Cave, the longest cave on Earth. The system has 426 mapped miles, as of March 2024.
