    2 Folding and Fualting

    Uploaded by

    Esther Ruth santillan
    Plate tectonic movement results in folding and faulting of the Earth's crust. Folding occurs when rocks are compressed underground, resulting in bending and curving of the strata. There are different types of folds such as monoclines, anticlines, and synclines. Faulting occurs when rocks crack or break along fractures. The three main types of faults are normal, reverse, and transform.

    FOLDING AND

    FAULTING

    2
    FOLDING
    ➢the type of Earth movement
    resulting from the compression
    of rock because of high
    temperature and pressure from
    the interior of the Earth.
    3
    FOLDING

    ➢also happen in oceans


    and seas

    4
    TYPES OF FOLDING
    1. Monocline- a one-sided
    slope connecting two
    horizontal or gently inclined
    strata.
    5
    MONOCLINE

    6
    TYPES OF FOLDING

    2. Anticline -depicts
    an upward fold on the
    rock.
    7
    ANTICLINE

    8
    TYPES OF FOLDING
    3. Syncline results from
    a downward fold on the
    rock.
    9
    SYNCLINE

    10
    TYPES OF FOLDING
    4. Overturned happens when
    one of its fold is pushed over
    the other limb due to the
    increasing pressure.
    11
    OVERTURNED

    12
    TYPES OF FOLDING
    5. Recumbent is an extreme
    type of overturned fold in
    which the axial plain acquires
    almost horizontal altitude.
    13
    RECUMBENT

    14
    FAULTING

    ➢This geologic process


    forms cracks or
    fractures on the rocks
    15
    FAULTING
    ➢The movement is caused
    by low temperatures that
    make rocks brittle. Instead of
    folding, rocks break into
    large chunks.
    16
    TYPES OF FAULTING
    1. A normal (divergent) fault
    occurs when a rock is being
    pulled apart due to tension force.
    In this type of fault, the rock
    generally moves down.
    17
    NORMAL (DIVERGENT)

    18
    TYPES OF FAULTING
    2. Reverse (convergent) fault
    happens when a rock is being
    squeezed due to compressional
    force. This type of fault generally
    moves up a rock.
    19
    REVERSE (CONVERGENT)

    20
    TYPES OF FAULTING
    3. Transform (strike-slip)
    fault happens when rocks
    slide past each other in the
    opposite directions.
    21
    TRANSFORM (STRIKE-SLIP) FAULT

    22
    Q&A
    Plate tectonic movement
    of the plates results in
    deformation (folding and
    faulting) of the Earth’s
    crust.
    24
    Folding is the type of Earth
    movement resulting from the
    compression of rock because
    of high temperature and
    pressure from the interior of
    Earth.
    25
    Folding can also
    happen in oceans
    and seas.
    26
    Bending, curving,
    crumpling, or buckling of
    rocks into folds are
    usually visible on rock
    strata.
    27
    Monocline is a two-
    sided slope connecting
    two horizontal or gently
    inclined strata.
    28
    Anticline is an
    downward fold
    on the rock.29
    Syncline is a
    downward fold on
    the rock.
    30
    Normal (divergent)
    fault occurs when rock
    is being pulled apart
    due to tension force.
