Geological Fault Lines Diagram

A series of detailed cross-sectional diagrams illustrates various forms of geological fault lines and crustal deformation. The illustrations demonstrate how segments of the Earth's surface can shift and change configuration due to tectonic forces, depicting different types of faults such as normal, reverse, and thrust faults, along with associated folding. Solid lines represent the current state of the terrain, while dashed lines often indicate the original position or the extent of displacement along the fault planes, showing the mechanics of how landscapes evolve under geological stress.
