Folds and Faults

For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review folds and faults found in Earth's crust: their causes, classification, and importance. Also reviews the various stresses that lead to the variety of deformation types. Includes definitions and modeling of reverse faults, normal faults, and strike-slip faults; anticlines, synclines, domes, and basins; and plastic, elastic, and brittle deformation.

**This video comes about 1/3 of the way through the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar. For a full playlist, refer to the Geology playlist on the Earth Rocks! YouTube Channel.

Content within this video is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.

I bet you took that picture near Exit 22, east of Reno, Nevada. There is an entire roadside geology like this that just amazes me in how this was accomplished ....

Thankyou soo much, this really made everything clear for a student 🥰

[whatinsider]

Very much informative.Thank you Earth Rocks Team❤

[jkchandravanshi]

Best, short and sweet explanation!!..

[labakishorpradhan]

I like it very much for your teaching and learning .

[vaibhavtanwar]

I am confused... As anticline and syncline terms are used only if the direction of younging is known.. Instead of these terms we can use antiform and synform for general explanation

[roxanag.]

Sooo clear ! I learn a lot from you! I love geology, as a tour guide always it gives me more details to show in patagonia. thanks!
One question please, is it posible that a river can change a landscape of the ignimbrite rock millions years ago?

[ShubhamRaj-bngp]

You know that there is some serious dedication when someone holds a skewer with both their hands for three days straight!
