Geography- Tetonic Plates- Faults
Storyboard Text
- Good morning studients, today we will cover the topic of Faults in Tectonic Plates. By the end of the lesson we will be able to answer the question, What are Faults/How do they occur. Types of Faults and their occurance.
- What are Tectonic Plate Tectonics?
- Tectonics Plates are massive slab of solid rock made up of Earth's lithosphere (crust and upper mantle). Also called lithospheric plate.
- Tectonic plate faults occur when stress builds up along the boundaries of the plates. This stress is released through sudden movements, resulting in earthquakes
- Ms, What are faults? How do they happen?
- What are the types of faults?
- There are 3 types one of one which are Normal Fault- The upper block moves downward relative to the lower block. (dip-slip) Then there is - Reverse/thrust Fault The upper block moves upward relative to the lower block. (dip-slip)
- The last fault movement is, the Strike-slip fault both blocks slide horizontally across one another. (Strike-slip)
- Can anyone tell me about the the last Fault movement?
- Put a check mark on the right answer.What are Faults? Land The earthguakes causes by relase of stress Water Decomposer of plants
