    Faults Activity 1 and 2

    Uploaded by

    Rose
    The document discusses different types of faults: strike-slip faults where rocks slide past each other horizontally, normal faults where two blocks of crust pull apart creating a valley with the hanging wall dropped down, and reverse faults where one block of crust slides on top of another commonly in collision zones. Students are asked to identify figures as representing these different fault types and describe them.
