Deformation 1. Elastic – nonpermanent, rock returns to original shape 2. Ductile – permanent,

Deformation 1. Elastic – nonpermanent, rock returns to original shape 2. Ductile – permanent, rock flows or bends 3. Brittle – permanent, rock breaks

Types of Faults • Strike-slip faults have movement that is predominantly horizontal and parallel

Types of Faults • Strike-slip faults have movement that is predominantly horizontal and parallel to the strike of the fault plane – A viewer looking across to the other side of a right-lateral strike-slip fault would observe it to be offset to their right – A viewer looking across to the other side of a left-lateral strike-slip fault would observe it to be offset to their left • Oblique-slip faults have movement that with components parallel to both the strike and dip of the fault plane Right-lateral San Andreas Fault
