Folds and Faults

For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review folds and faults found in Earth's crust: their causes, classification, and importance. Also reviews the various stresses that lead to the variety of deformation types. Includes definitions and modeling of reverse faults, normal faults, and strike-slip faults; anticlines, synclines, domes, and basins; and plastic, elastic, and brittle deformation.
**This video comes about 1/3 of the way through the semester, so there may be terms with which the audience is unfamiliar. For a full playlist, refer to the Geology playlist on the Earth Rocks! KZbin Channel.
Content within this video is based on information available in any standard introductory college geology textbook, such as Essentials of Geology -- Tarbuck and Lutgens -- Pearson Publishing.

Wait let me put it geologically..this channel is a goldmine!

My teacher sended us this link heh!

So happy you have been making or posting new videos, they're very interesting.

[@EarthRocks]

Thank you. Happens when I have a new class to switch over to videos. :)

Thankyou soo much, this really made everything clear for a student 🥰

My module brought me here. Nice

[@labakishorpradhan9772]

I like it very much for your teaching and learning .

[@mistet7938]

Thank you so much !!! I really appreciate your efforts! please know they are paying off!

[@johnlord8337]

I bet you took that picture near Exit 22, east of Reno, Nevada. There is an entire roadside geology like this that just amazes me in how this was accomplished ....

[@EarthRocks]

:) Many similar places in the world. This was much further away -- southeast of Las Vegas.

[@whatinsider3581]

Very much informative.Thank you Earth Rocks Team❤

[@shaikfayaz5716]

Excellent explanation mam

[@raizahwho1462]

This question please :(( •Is it possible for faults to cause folds or folds to cause faults? Explain.

[@EarthRocks]

One is caused by brittle deformation, and the other plastic deformation. Those two types of deformation happen under different conditions (as noted in the video). What are those conditions and are they mutually exclusive?

Love from india♥️

[@vaibhavtanwar5263]

I am confused... As anticline and syncline terms are used only if the direction of younging is known.. Instead of these terms we can use antiform and synform for general explanation

[@pranjaljain9467]

Very comprehensive. Thank You.

[@roxanag.4427]

Sooo clear ! I learn a lot from you! I love geology, as a tour guide always it gives me more details to show in patagonia. thanks! One question please, is it posible that a river can change a landscape of the ignimbrite rock millions years ago?

[@EarthRocks]

Happy to help explain, but not sure I understand the question. Yes, rivers can alter landscape -- all throughout Earth's history. And if the landscape involves an ignimbrite rock, then that the river can erode the rock. Also, the ignimbrite initial eruption and flow can be altered by the river. :)

[@roxanag.4427]

@@EarthRocks This is exactly what i wanted to know. I live in Puerto Deseado, the estyuary. Macizo deseado. you are really great explainning all geology. i am a big fan, do you mind if i keep asking? big kiss from patagonia

[@EarthRocks]

@@roxanag.4427 No, I don't mind. Just might take awhile to answer, and I appreciate all the others who chime in and help each other. :)

You know that there is some serious dedication when someone holds a skewer with both their hands for three days straight!

[@EarthRocks]

Indeed. Lovely image. :) (I actually left it bent inside a mixing bowl but didn't have the time to find a way say that.) ;)

[@themechanicalentry8353]

@@EarthRocks Shhh, don't let them know. Also, that image was some sort of glitch that happened in a corrupt image on my phone a few years ago. I didn't even have to modify it, which makes it even more beautiful.
