Hmm, I've learned differently. Basically there are two mindsets — fluid flow vs structure. The fluid flow mindset will view any discontinuity as a fracture (which is also the definition of fracture), however, the structural geologist will view only stress-related fractures as the definition of fractures. Perhaps this should be re-included in that context. (I may get to this some day). +

Hello, I've updated a few sections of this page as part of a graduate level fracture mechanics course. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Thanks!
