Faults
■ Faults are blocks of the earth’s crust that meet together.
Scientists identify four types of faults, characterized by the
position of the fault plane, the break in the rock and the
movement of the two rock blocks.
■ Faults lines are under enormous pressure from the two
pieces of the earth’s crust pushing together.
■ The faults will eventually give way to the pressure causing
earthquakes and creating mountain ranges.
