This lesson contains instructions and patterns for preparing seven three-dimensional paper models that schematically illustrate common earth faults and associated landforms.
The faults described are:
1. normal
2. reverse
3. right
4. left-lateral
5. strike-slip
6. oblique-slip
There are also models and discussions of two fault-produced landforms, a graben and a horst.
These models are intended to help students and others visualize the principal classes of faults and learn some of the terminology used by geologists to describe faults.
By constructing and examining these models, students will obtain a greater appreciation of the relationship between fault displacements and
the landforms that result.
