For an introductory college-level earth sciences class: a review folds and faults found in Earth's crust: their causes, classification, and importance. Also reviews the various stresses that lead to the variety of deformation types. Includes definitions and modeling of reverse faults, normal faults, and strike-slip faults; anticlines, synclines, domes, and basins; and plastic, elastic, and brittle deformation.
