1 DEFORMATION OF THE EARTHS CRUST Types of Deformation 1.folds 2.faults

2 Deformation 1. Elastic – nonpermanent, rock returns to original shape 2. Ductile – permanent, rock flows or bends 3. Brittle – permanent, rock breaks

6 How Rocks Become Deformed 1.compression forces 2.tensional forces 3.shearing forces

25 Fractured Rocks 1.How a rock breaks i.joints

26 Fractured Rocks 1.How a rock breaks i.joints ii.faults

33 Types of Faults Strike-slip faults have movement that is predominantly horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault plane –A viewer looking across to the other side of a right-lateral strike-slip fault would observe it to be offset to their right –A viewer looking across to the other side of a left-lateral strike-slip fault would observe it to be offset to their left Oblique-slip faults have movement that with components parallel to both the strike and dip of the fault plane Right-lateral San Andreas Fault
