Fault Types and Stress Analysis

The video tutorial covers three main types of geological faults: normal, reverse, and strike slip. Each fault type is associated with specific stresses: tension for normal faults, compression for reverse faults, and shear for strike slip faults. The tutorial explains how these stresses affect plate movements, leading to different fault formations. It also includes an activity for students to identify fault types using laminated sheets.

What are the three main types of faults discussed in the video?

• Normal, Reverse, Strike-Slip

• Normal, Lateral, Oblique

• Reverse, Lateral, Oblique

• Strike-Slip, Lateral, Oblique

Which type of stress is responsible for causing normal faults?

• Torsion

• Tension

• Shear

• Compression

What type of plate movement is associated with normal faults?

• Convergent

• Divergent

• Transform

• Static

What type of stress leads to the formation of reverse faults?

• Tension

• Shear

• Torsion

• Compression

Reverse faults are typically formed at which type of plate boundary?

• Divergent

• Convergent

• Transform

• Static

What type of stress is associated with strike-slip faults?

• Torsion

• Shear

• Tension

• Compression

Strike-slip faults occur at which type of plate boundary?

• Convergent

• Divergent

• Transform

• Static

What happens to the plates in a strike-slip fault?

• They slide past each other

• They remain stationary

• They move apart

• They collide

What should students do with the laminated pictures?

• Ignore them

• Add details about the types of boundaries

• Use them as coasters

• Throw them away

What is the purpose of reviewing the laminated sheets?

• To color them

• To use them as a fan

• To add details about other types of movement

• To memorize them
