I. OBJECTIVES
After performing this activity, you should be able to:
1) demonstrate the geometry of faults and fault displacements using 3D fault models and
2) relate these geologic structures to plate boundary interactions

II. MATERIALS
▪ Fault Model Handout
▪ Modeling Faults Worksheet
▪ Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
▪ Construction paper
▪ Scissors
▪ Ruler
▪ Tape

III. PROCEDURE
1. Color the fault model according to the color key on the handout.
2. Glue the fault model onto a piece of construction paper (for stiffness).
3. Cut out the fault model along the edges and fold each side to form a box with the colored part on top.
4. Glue or tape the corners together.
5. The box is a 3-D model of the top layers of the Earth’s crust! The dashed lines on your model
represent a fault.
6. Carefully cut along the dashed lines, to result in two pieces.
7. You may want to tape or glue a piece of construction paper to the side of the two halves. This helps
makes them more stable and easier to handle.

IV. DISCUSSION / QUESTIONS


1. Find points A and B on your fault model. Move B until it’s next to A. Look at your model from the side (its
cross-section). Then answer the questions below!
a. Which way did Point B move in relation to Point A?

c. Are the rock layers still continuous?

d. What likely happened to the river? The road? The railroad tracks?

2. Find Points C and D on your model. Move Point C next to Point D. Look at the cross-section of your fault
model. Then answer the questions below!
a. Which way did Point D move in relation to Point C?

3. Find Points F and G on your model. Move Point F next to Point G. Look at the cross-section of your fault
model. Then answer the questions below!
a. If you were standing at point F looking across the fault, which way did the block on the opposite side
move?

_______________________________________________________________________________

b. What happened to the rock layers (X, Y, and Z)?


_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________

c. Are the rock layers still continuous?

d. What likely happened to the river? The road? The railroad tracks?

e. If the scale used in this model is 1 mm = 2 m, how many meters did the earth move when this fault
caused point F to move alongside point G?

4. Based on what your learned in the presentation, what kind of fault is 1? 2? and 3?
