3. (This exercise is from Physical Geology by Steven Earle and is used under a CC BY 4.0 license.) The following images are faults that formed in different tectonic settings. Identifying the type of fault allows us to determine if the body of rock was under compression, extension, or shearing at the time of faulting. For each image, identify the type of fault (normal, reverse, or strike slip) and whether each one formed under compression, extension, or shearing. You are viewing each image in cross section (side view), except the one a the bottom right. Hint: Look for layers of similar color and thickness (marker beds) across each fault and note how they moved, relative to each other, along the fault. Looking down from above
