Landscape Evolution Test 1

Front 1

Fault

Back 1

A fracture on Earth's crust along which movement has occured.

Front 2

Joint

Back 2

A frature on Earth's crust along which no movement has occured.

Front 3

Types of Faults A

Back 3

Normal: Footwall moves up relative to hanging wall, perhaps the most imporant and persisiting landscape.

Front 4

Types of Faults B

Back 4

Reverse: Footwall moves down relative to hanging wall, does not persist in landscape.

Front 5

Types of Faults C

Back 5

Strike-slip: Crusted block move laterally past each other.

Front 6

Faulting topography A

Back 6

Normal: Fault scarps, grabens, horsts, half-grabbens, and tilted rocks.

Front 7

Faulting topography B

Back 7

Reverse: Weak topographic expression only develops on association wtih high-angle faulting.

Front 8

Faulting topography C

Back 8

Strike-slip: Shutter ridges and and fault scarps.

Front 9

Geological evidence of Faulting A

Back 9

Exposure of fault surface

Front 10

Gological evidence of fauting B

Back 10

Precense of fault breccia or crushed zones/

Front 11

Geological evidence of fauting C

Back 11

Slikensides and slikenlines: polished or striated surfaces.

Front 12

Geological evidence of faulting D

Back 12

Zones of excessive jointing a fracturing

Front 13

Geological evidence of faulting E

Back 13

Visible displacement of dikes, veins of rock strata against the fault.

Front 14

Geological evidence of faulting F

Back 14

Offser of strems, beds, dikes, or veins where fult is concerted.

Front 15

Geological evidentce of faulting G

Back 15

Repetition or omission or strata.

Front 16

Fault Scarp

Back 16

Corresponds direclty to the direction of fault plane.

Front 17

Fault line scarp

Back 17

Scarp developed in respose to faulting but no longer corresponds to location of fault place.

Front 18

Diagnostics for fault line scarps A

Back 18

Poor correlation between rock resistance and topography.

Front 19

Diagnostics for fault line scarps B

Back 19

Rift terraces: say ponds, basins and discordent topography.

Front 20

Diagnostics for fault line scarps C

Back 20

Abnormally small alluvial plains.

Front 21

Diagnostic for fault line scarps D

Back 21

Displacement of older topographic surfaces.

Front 22

Diagnostic for fault line scarps E

Back 22

Warped terraces.

Front 23

Diagnostics for fault line scarps

Back 23

Scarps across alluvial deposits.

Front 24

Evidence of fault line scarps A

Back 24

Close correlation between rock resistance, structure and topography.

Front 25

Evidence of fault line scarps B

Back 25

Scarps situated on downtown (lower) side of of fault.

Front 26

Horst

Back 26

Represents a block pushed upward relative to the blocks on either side by the faulting

Front 27

Grabben

Back 27

A block generally long compared to its width that has been lowered relative to the blocks on either side due to the faulting
