Forces Shaping the Earth: Faulting

The video tutorial explains the process of faulting in rock layers under stress, detailing different types of faults: normal, reverse, thrust, and strike-slip. It describes how these faults form, their characteristics, and provides examples such as the San Andreas Fault. The tutorial also covers geological features like hanging walls, foot walls, and the role of stress and compression in fault formation.
