    The document summarizes how the movement of tectonic plates leads to the formation of folds and faults in the Earth's crust. It explains that plate boundaries can be convergent, divergent, or transform, and that the different types of stresses at these boundaries - compressional, tensional, or shear - cause rocks to deform through fracturing or bending. It describes how normal faults form at divergent boundaries from tensional stress, reverse faults form at convergent boundaries from compressional stress, and strike-slip faults form at transform boundaries from shear stress. It also defines anticlines and synclines as types of folds caused by compressional stress.

    The Formation Of

    Faults And Folds


    EARTH MATERIALS AND
    PROCESSES
    By: GROUP 7 PRESENTATION
    G-12 HUMSS-ADLER
    Objectives:
    • At the end of the lessons, you should be able to
    explain how the movements of plates leads to
    the formation of folds and faults.
    • The Earth’s Crust is divided into plates, kwon as
    Tectonic Plates, and these plates move due to
    the convection currents in the Earth’s interior.
    • Below is an illustration that depicts the location
    and the movements of plates. The arrows
    indicate the direction of their movements.
    Plate Movement
    • The movement of the plates depends on the
    boundaries between them. These boundaries can
    be Convergent, Divergent or Transform.
    • In a Convergent Boundary, the plates move or
    collide toward each other. When the plates move
    away from each other, they are in a Divergent
    Boundary, Finally, when plates slide past each
    other, they are in Transform Boundary.
    • Plate movements cause rocks to be
    deformed due to Compressional Stress at
    convergent boundaries, Tensional Stress
    at divergent boundaries, or Shear Stress
    at Transform boundaries.
    • Due to these STRESSES, rocks experience
    changes in volume and shape.
    Rock Deformation
    • Compressional Stress causes rocks to be
    squeezed towards each other. Tensional
    Stress pulls rocks apart and Shear Stress causes
    rocks to slide opposite each other.

    • When subjected to stress, rocks can deform by


    either breaking(Fracture) or bending (Folds).
    Example Of Rock Deformation
    Fracture
    • Since the pressure and temperature are low at
    the Earth’s surface, rocks tend to break or
    fracture when subjected to compressional and
    tensional stresses.
    • Fractures can either be a fault or a joint. A
    Fault is a break in the rock where there is
    considerable movement in the fracture surface
    while a Joint is a break where there is on
    considerable movement.
    Types Of Faults

    • There are Two types of fault.


    • They can either be Dip-slip or
    Strike-slip faults.
    Dip-slip Faults
    • Dip-slip Faults involve the vertical movement
    of the blocks of rock. These movements are
    described based on the direction of the
    motion of the hanging wall with respect to the
    footwall.
    • A Hanging Wall is the block of rock that rests
    on the fault plane while a Footwall is the one
    bellow the fault plane.
    Example if Dip-slip Faults
    • Dip-slip can either be a Normal or a
    Reverse fault.
    • A Normal Fault is caused by Tensional
    Stress it is characterized by the hanging
    wall moving downward with respect to
    the Footwall.
    • A Reverse Fault where in the hanging wall
    moves upward, is formed by
    compressional stress.
    Strike-slip Fault
    • Strike-slip Fault involves a
    horizontal movement of
    blocks of rock and is caused
    by Shear Stress.
    Example of Strike-slip Fault
    Fold
    • Deep within the crust, where pressure
    and temperature are high, rocks are
    plastics-like; thus, they do not break but
    they tend to bend or fold.
    • When rocks in this area are compressed,
    they become thicker and become thinner
    when they are pulled apart.
    Types Of Fold
    • When blocks of rock are bent
    upwards, they from Anticline
    Structures.
    • Synclines are formed when blocks of
    rock bend downwards.
    • A slightly bent rock from the parallel
    undeformed layers forms
    Monoclines.
    There are (3)EXAMPLE OF TYPES OF FOLD

    Monocline
