Urban Earthquakes

Urban Earthquakes. Faults. Faults are fractures in the crust along which appreciable displacement has occurred. No movement = a joint Sudden movements along faults = earthquakes. Dip-Slip Normal Reverse Thrust. Strike-Slip Right lateral Left lateral Transverse. Types of Faults.

DEFORMATION OF ROCKS [L17 P. 363-373 /IP-B]

DEFORMATION OF ROCKS [L17 P. 363-373 /IP-B]. Deformation of rocks. Folds and faults are geologic structures. Structural geology - the study of the forces that deform rocks (stress applied) and the effects of this force (strain). Small-scale Folds. Fig. 10.1. Phil Dombrowski.

Plate Boundaries

Plate Boundaries. colllisional. How collision builds mtns: processes are labeled on diagram. The topography of a mtn is build from a combination of physical (faulting and folding pushing the surface UP) and isostatic (the crust rises because it gets thicker and can float higher in

Faults and Mountains

Faults and Mountains . Fault- a break along which the rock on either side moves. Hanging wall- the rock on the side of the fault that is on top of the fault (in non-vertical faults). Footwall- is the rock under the fault (in non-vertical faults). Vocabulary.
