If you just look down from above, you can only see the icing on top. In Earth Science, we often want to look at or illustrate things in cross-section because it allows us to look at layers and features below the surface. Here’s a cartoon version of what a fault might look like in cross-section. Before the activity, we’ll start off with the components that make up a fault. While it may seem juvenile, it’s an activity I’ve done in university classrooms. Hopefully they were useful in describing the 3 different types of faults. First off, apologies for the very short videos. Be sure to catch #1 and #2!Īfter the last post on faults, I got some great questions and thought I’d address them here.
