PPT-FAULTS AND FAULTING

Lemuel Jhon S Libres Janice Putian Sta Fe Lopez If your pocket gets empty your faults will be many FAULT FAULT FAULT FAULT FAULT A fracture along which there has been displacement of the sides relative to one another. Move it, move it !!. What are they?. Fault: a break or fracture in the crust of Earth.. Earthquakes: shaking or trembling of the earth caused by movement along a fault.. Uplift: upward movement of Earth’s crust.. Regional Strain. Types of Fault and the Principal Stresses. Fault Rocks. Gouge: non-cohesive, fine grained. Breccia: coarse angular fragments. Cataclasite: cohesive fragments. Fault Melt (pseudotachylite):. Chapter 6. Folding. Faulting. The buckling of a rock layer that was once horizontal. Buckles or folds appear on the landscape.. The main type of folds are:. Anticlines. Synclines. Faulting is the result of the movement of the earths plates. Faults occur where there is stress along a weak point in the earths crust.. Lecture 29. Gly. 326. Compression and deformation. In areas of compression, we have several options for deformation. Dependent on lithology, rock strength, confinement, fluid occurrence, etc.. Reverse/Thrust faults. A – S55E. B – N25W. C – 305. D – 355. 1. The strike of the plane represented by the great circle trace on the equal area plot at left is:. A – S55E. B – N25W. C – 305. D – 355. 305 or N55W. Aim -->. Sequence of Events. Uniformitarianism. - processes that occur today have always occurred. "The present is the key to the past." Examples include weathering, erosion, earthquakes etc.. Law of Superposition. Faults form in rocks when the stresses overcome the internal strength of the rock resulting in a fracture. A fault can be defined as the displacement of once connected blocks of rock along a fault plane. This can occur in any direction with the blocks moving away from each other. Faults occur from both tensional and compressional forces. lithosphere,. where movement occurs.. Stress. A force that presses on, pulls on, or pushes against another object.. Earthquake. The ground shaking caused by the sudden movement of large blocks of rock around a fault.. OROGENY. LED BY PROFESSOR DONNY HUTTON The North Cornwall/Bude coastal section contains probably the best exposed, most accessible and spectacular fold structures seen in western Europe.

Introduction to Fault. Diagnosis. Types of Stress:. Tension. . Stress that pulls rock apart. Stress. is a force acting on a . rock. . It has the same units as pressure, but also has a . direction. . There are three types of stress: . When stresses in the earth crust act on soft plastic rocks, they bend or fold the rocks. But when stresses act on hard, brittle rocks, they fracture or break the rocks. . A . fault is a type of fracture along which there has been relative movement displacing the wall rocks on either side of the fault.. During: Fault notes. After: Exit slip 4 questions. Day 1: Faults. Fault-. a breaks . in the earth’s surface along which rocks can . move.. Three . kinds of faults – determined by how the rocks move against each . Presented by. Kelly Benson. Mouiad Al-Wahah. 1. Definitions we agreed upon... Def 1. . Diagnosis is the problem of trying to find what is wrong with some system based on knowledge about the design/structure of the system, possible malfunctions that can occur in the system and observations made of the behavior of the system..
