Question O: After movement of Point F next to Point G, are rock layers X, Y, and Z still roughly continuous when viewed from the side of your block model that Points A, B, C, and D are on? Question P: After the movement of Point F next to Point G, describe what is likely to happen to the river on the top of the block model? HINT: There is a specific name for rivers like this. Question Q: Did movement of Point F next to Point G along the fault cause Point F move to the left or to the right relative to Point E? HINT: If you were standing on Point E, which way would Point F have moved compared to you – to your left or to your right?
Observe the three photos below. Then, use these photos showing the movement of Point F next to Point G on the fault block model to answer:

HINT: If you were standing on Point E, which way would Point F have moved compared to you – to your
left or to your right?
Question R: What type of fault is formed by moving Point F next to Point G? Be specific.
Question S: Is the type of fault formed by movement of Point F next to Point G caused by tensional stress, compressional stress, or shear stress?
Question T: Along which type of plate tectonic boundary would you expect to find the type of fault formed by moving Point F next to Point G?
