The ground on the two sides of the fault slide past each other, they do not pull apart. If the fault could open, there would be no friction. Without friction, there would be no earthquake. Shallow crevasses can form during earthquake induced landslides, lateral spreads, or other types of ground failures

Faults known as ‘thrust faults’ could one day tear massive holes in the Earth, the chilling study has shown.
In the past, thrust faults have been responsible for some of the most devastating earthquakes – including the 2011 quake off the coast of Japan.
The new research, carried out by experts from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and École normale supérieure (ENS) in Paris, discovered that fast ruptures beneath the surface and travel upwards quickly can cause one side of the fault to twist away, opening a hole in the Earth.
Once the hole has opened, it could quickly snap shut after consuming everything in its wake
