Earthquakes. Types of Stress Stress: a force that acts on rock to change its shape or volume. – Because stress is a force, it adds energy to the rock.

Why are some faults larger than the others? - Brittle/Ductile - Magnitude of Earthquakes - Direction of extension or compression - Age (The bigger, the older) - Pressure (Amount/Strength)

How to tell the difference between a small and large fault - The larger the fault the larger the landmass & damage (brittle/ductile/flexibility) - Location of corresponding bedrock layers -Larger and Smaller faults’ EXAMPLE: Wasatch Fault (rate of increase: 4 inches per year) -Clear fault indication means it is a young fault -Older faults tend to have multiple cracks/breakage & bedrock layers are difficult to tell apart

-Small faults increase in size due to seismic activity -Extension & Compression -Length of slip - Focus point of stress/breakage How small faults become large faults

Where will we drill for oil in Moab? -Near the Moab Fault Examples are as follows:

Where two layers of bedrock meet In a fold on top of water In a fault, specifically the footwall
