DOWNLOAD GOOGLE EARTH FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT In Google Earth, use the coordinates below to locate a variety of structures. This week the structures of interest are all faults. There are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults (right and left lateral). Inspect each fault and try to determine the sense of offset Note: In some instances, it may be helpful to increase the vertical exaggeration of the images. This can be changed in Google Earth by accessing ‘ Tools' from the main menu bar. Under the 'Options' function you will see "Elevation Exaggeration:' in the lower left of the dialogue box. You can change the vertical exaggeration of the terrain model in Google Earth by typing i. 2. or 3 (3 is the greatest vertical exaggeration. 1 is the least) )·t can also be incredibly useful to change the camera angle and zoom in and out once you find the structure you are supposed to identify PART 1: The list of coordinates below will take you to various parts of the world to see examples of different types of geologic structures (faults). Examine each image and identify the type(s) of structure illustrated LATITUDE LONGITUDE ALTITUDE (km) FAULT & OFFSET (e.g., “Reverse: upthrown on North (camera height) side", "Normal: East block dropped”, “left-lateral", etc. 44.969228 35.528348 38.734632 35.442394 36.601581 36.500986 57.034394 -108.414814 -117.336538 109.507026 -117.686327 -114.551509 111.714474 -4.796493 10 3.5 4 320 PART 2: Tell me what the hardest part of identifying the faults was. Do you think you will be able to identify faults when you look at them in the future?Explanation / Answer
1.DOWNTHROWN ON EAST
2.LEFT LATERAL
3.DOWNTHROWN ON WEST
4.LEFT LATERAL
5.UPTHROWN ON NORTH
6. DOWNTHROWN ON NORTH EAST
7.LEFT LATERAL
the hardest part is to identifying topological evidences like stream direction fault movement etc.
