Plaster experiment 2013.mov

Physical geology experiment using plaster to form faults in the contractional tectonic regime. The experiment was done at the Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen (Norway) and Center for Integrated Petroleum Research (same place) as a test run as we prepare for students to use this technique to explore various aspects of structural geology.

Yeah, the "plaster" in central Texas wasn't dry either... when the land began to deform... the sea goes in; the sea goes out... as per sequence stratigraphic modeling. All within the context of a single catastrophic event. Yeah, then the "plaster" in central Texas, and world-wide, dried.
