Overturned Folds

Folds and Faults provides an illustrated overview of two significant topics in geology: folds and faults. Understanding folds and faults helps to explain how mountains form, how layers of rock change shape over time, and the underlying cause of earthquakes.
This app contains illustrations, animations, and photos by Dennis Tasa as well as annotated photos by Michael Collier and Ed Tarbuck. Animations show how folds and faults change the position and angle of rock layers. Illustrations and annotated photographs help to illustrate these concepts and aid in the identification of folds and faults in the field.

Each type of fold or fault is shown with a photo in a real world setting and an animated sequence shows how layers of rock are deformed.
Animations can either be played from beginning to end or shown step by step by moving the slider back and forth.
This screen allows you to compare and contrast animations of all the fold and fault types.
