    1. There are three main types of faults: strike-slip faults where rocks slide past each other horizontally, normal faults where two blocks pull apart creating a valley, and reverse faults where one block slides over another like in the Himalayas. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the abrupt movement of faults, releasing energy that generates seismic waves. These waves cause damage near the earthquake's epicenter. 3. Earthquakes can severely damage buildings and infrastructure as shown in photos of buildings affected by quakes in the Philippines in 2019.

    Definition of Terms
    Earthquake
    The shaking or trembling of the earth caused by movement
    along a fault.
    Earthquakes occur when rock shifts or slips along fault lines.
    Earthquakes generate waves that travel through the earths
    surface.
    These waves are what is felt and cause damage around the
    epicenter of the earthquake.
    Fault
    Faults are thin zones of crushed blocks of rocks.
    These are often in centimeters to thousands of kilometers long
    Faults are blocks of the earth’s crust that meet.
    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.
    3 TYPES OF FAULTS
    rocks are sliding past each other
    1.Strike-slip fault horizontally.

    two blocks of crust layer, pulling


    apart, extending the crust into a valley
    2.Normal fault thus creating a space.

     also known as thrust fault, sliding one


    3. Reverse fault block of crust on top of another.
    3 TYPES OF FAULTS
    1.Strike-slip fault

    2.Normal fault

    3. Reverse fault
    1.Strike-slip fault

    San Andres
    Fault of
    California
    2.Normal fault
    •Example of a normal fault in
    sandstone in Utah, USA.

    • Note how the hanging wall


    has moved with respect to the
    foot wall. Image has been
    altered to show fault
    movement
    2.Normal fault

    The Basin and Range


    Province in North America
    and the East African Rift
    Zone are two notable districts
    where normal fault is
    spreading apart Earth's crust.
    3. Reverse fault

    Himalayas
    Mountains
    WHAT CAUSES AN
    EARTHQUAKE?
    Facts!
    • An earthquake is brought by an abrupt slip on a fault, much like
    happens when you snap your fingers.
