Problem

• Use the internet to find a picture of a fault or fold clearly showing distortion or displacement of rock or sediment.

• Write out a description of your fault or fold in the picture in terms of what type of fault or fold is present, the direction and amount of motion on the fault or the direction of compression for the fold. Give a clear and detailed description of everything that you can see in the picture in your own words. Your sketch should help you with this.

• Give the geographic location of the fault or fold and describe its tectonic setting (near a plate boundary, what type of boundary, why is this fault or fold here).

• Post a copy of the picture or provide a web link to the page where you found the picture. Do not use an aerial photograph!! The actual fault or fold is usually not easily visible in an aerial photo.
