Document Summary
For strike-slip faults, you should be able to identify from an image whether they are left-lateral or right-lateral. Commonly, we see folds and faults: 1. ; 2. Deformation is the result of _______________ (force applied to a given area), which generates ___________ ( the resultant deformation, which manifests as changes in shape or size). In shear, two sides of rocks are pushed past each other. Initially, most rocks will deform _______________ (when the stress stops, they will return to their original shape). Once the elastic limit of the rock is reached, however, they will deform in two ways: ____________________________________: rocks break suddenly and we may see movement along faults (we produce fractures this way). Increasing temperature will make rocks deform more _______________________, increasing confining pressure will make rocks deform more _________________________, certain minerals deform more ductilely, and slower deformation tends to be more _____________________________. : azimuth or bearing of the horizontal line that lies in an inclined plane.
