Folds+and+faults+with+captions

After reading about folds and faults, post an image of one fold and one fault and add a caption below each image that explains what can be seen in the image. To avoid plagiarism, cite the source of your images and make sure your summaries (captions) and images are not too similar to those of another student or author. DO NOT SAVE WORD DOCUMENTS! Upload images that show up, when the page is opened (JPEG images seem to work best)!

eoanna giannakopoulos folds and faults are two different things. Also there are two different direction of movenment anticline and syncline.

There are two different types of fold: Anticline and syncline. You can see both of them in this picture. A anticlines are formed by upfolding while the synclines are formed by downfolding. You can see through this image the parts not matching up. The the hanging wall block is moved down relative to the footwall block. Images from: [] []

In this photo, you can see it is a Syncline Fold. Image Source: http://www.geolab.unc.edu/faculty/glazner/Images/Structure/Folds.html

FOlds= This pictures shows 2 kinds of folds;Anticline and Syncline. Anticline is when the folds are forced up and Syncline is when the folds of the rock layer is forced down. http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~schlisch/structureslides/rte23folds.gif

Faults= This picture shows a fault where the left side of the rock moves down and the right side moves up. This is formed by drag folding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Faille_des_Causses_depuis_Bedarieux.dsc02071.cropped.jpg

Syncline, these folds formed at a bend in a strike-slip fault monocline Anticline

Posted By: Matt Perchess This is an example of a strike-slip fault. This is the East-West dextral strike-slip fault near the Picolo San Bernardo pass in the Italian Alps.

This is an example of a small asymmetric fold in the Belt Supergroup along the Gallatin River in southwest Montana. Fault picture []

laksmi Gil [] this is a picture of a reverse fault. It should have a dip or a thrust [] This is a syncline fold. This shows that instead of making an "A" shape it makes a "V" shape.
