To my understanding a child process will be allocated separate memory and hardware resources. In some system the child process can continue running even after the parent has terminated. Most threads share the parents resources and terminate when the parent terminates

Threads :
It is a complete module which can run simultaneously with other threads ....

Process :
It is a single or set of child Process which inturn are single or set of fullfledged Threads.

Child Process :
It is a single or Set of Threads which in turn geneartes a part of a Parent Process .

I think it can help you .....

child procees using the separate memory resources but thrwad operate on the same memory resources .also the child process retrun to the parent process .in threads it works indepenently which doesnt make any segmentation problem
