1 Folds and Faults

2 Tectonic Plates

3 Types of Differential Stress 123

4 Ductile Deformation Rock will flow in response to stress Rock will change shape during flow Example: Copper penny on train tracks

5 Brittle Deformation Rock will break in response to stress Example: Glass objects, broken bones

10 Folds

11 Types of Differential Stress

12 Faults Kanab, Utah

13 Fault

14 A break in a rock along which movement has occurred.

15 Normal Fault:Rock above fault plane has moved down relative to rock below Reverse Fault:Rock above fault plane has moved up relative to rock below

16 Normal Reverse Strike-Slip
