    This document provides information about faults: (1) A fault is a fracture in rock where there has been significant displacement due to rock movement. (2) There are several types of faults including normal faults caused by tension, reverse faults caused by compression, and strike-slip faults caused by shear stress. (3) Students are asked to identify fault types from illustrations and describe in simple terms the different types of faults.

    Science 8

    Activity Title: Faults


    Learning Targets: To identify and describe fault and its types
    Reference: Science Links 8
    Values Integrity
    I. ESSENTIAL IDEAS
    Fault is a planar fracture or discontinuity in a volume of rock, across which there has been significant
    displacement as a result of rock-mass movement.

    TYPES of FAULTS
    Description Stress causing the
    movement
    The hanging wall moves downward, the Tensional force pulls rocks
    Normal Fault
    footwall moves upward apart
    Dip-Slip Fault
    The hanging wall moves upward, the Compression force squeezes
    Reverse Fault
    footwall moves downward. rocks together

    II. LEARNING EXPERIENCES


    Identify the kind of fault shown by the illustrations below.

    In simple terms, describe the different types of fault.


    1. Normal Fault - ___________________________________
    2. Reverse Fault - ___________________________________
    3. Strike-slip fault - ___________________________________

    III. PROCESSING QUESTIONS


    1. How do you think does a landmass develop fault?
    2. Describe the result of movement of rock-mass. How do you call it?
