Folds and Faults 2.1

Folds and Faults offers a comprehensive visual overview of two fundamental topics in geology: structural deformation and faulting. The material provides valuable insights into the processes behind mountain formation, the deformation of rock layers over geological time, and the mechanisms underlying seismic activity.

The app integrates detailed illustrations, animations, and photographs contributed by Dennis Tasa, alongside annotated images from Michael Collier and Ed Tarbuck. Animations effectively demonstrate how folds and faults alter the orientation and position of rock strata, while the visual aids facilitate understanding of these complex structural features and assist in field identification.
