Aerial view of fault line Legend Image shows the outcrop of a tault, visible from the breaks in beds of rock Location is about 5 mies east of Las Vegas, N Google Earth The diagram above shows an aerial photograph (i.e. a map view) through a sequence of deformed sedimentary rocks. You can look at this area in more detail by opening Google Earth, searching for "Las Vegas" and examining the area about 5 miles to the east of the city. In the photograph, you can clearly see the offset in the beds of sedimentary rock where the fault has moved. Using this information, highlight the fault plane in red on the photograph.

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
