This is a great slide show with real examples of the different types of faults.

Pictures of a variety of fault types. Fault types shown include: normal, reverse, and strike-slip. Also includes instructions for determining fault slip direction.

This site is primarily set up as an outline and is loaded with graphs, maps, and images. It covers a variety of earthquake-related topics, such as what causes earthquakes, fault lines and structures, seismology, a historical look at...

A great overall site that tells us about the San Andreas fault, where it is and what kind of movements have occurred. It then goes on to talk about earthquakes in general and their occurrences along fault lines.

See interactive, 360 degree panoramic photos of the San Andreas Fault. Aerial photos of the fault were taken using a technique called Kite Aerial Photography.

A suite of lessons focusing on all aspects of earthquakes. Inquiry-based exploration of earthquakes includes measuring seismic waves, predicting earthquakes, investigating magnitude and intensity, mapping fault lines, and evaluating...

Using the online resources provided through the Earthquakes Living Lab, students investigate reasons why large earthquakes occur in Japan, drawing conclusions from tectonic plate structures and the locations of fault lines.

An informative site that explains how and where earthquakes occur and the different types of faults. Contains maps and charts of fault lines, plate edges, and the continental plates. There are other links within the site of related...

Discover the location of faults by viewing a schematic Global Tectonic Activity Map. View the location of different types of faults, active spreading centers and volcanoes

An interactive map of significant earthquakes and faults in southern California. Click on each earthquake icon, and see a brief overview of each event.

Students use geologic fault maps of the San Francisco Bay Area to find relationships between tectonic plate fault lines and landscape features, topographic features, and epicenters of past earthquakes.

Use this map on the San Andreas Fault by following lines of posts that mark the various fault breaks in the Los Trancos Open Space Preserve. The trail takes hikers to see some of the effects of earthquakes in this otherwise tranquil...

This outstanding multimedia website follows the San Andreas fault system up the California coast from San Diego to just north of San Francisco on the coast.

A suite of lessons focusing on all aspects of how mountains are formed. Inquiry-based exploration of mountain building includes the rock cycle, mountain formation, plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, erosion, rocks, minerals, and...

This resource provides definitions of important earthquake related terms.

A detailed brochure with lots of information about the earthquakes that occur in Indiana. Discusses plate tectonics, how fault zones developed in the Mississippi River Valley, faults in Indiana, earthquakes that affected Indiana in the...

This website is a resource for learning about earthquakes. Java animation at this site helps you visually understand the causes of earthquakes.

Builders of brick walls need to be especially aware of fault lines which can easily lead to the collapse of the wall. Students are challenged, here, to use polyminoes to design patterns for brick walls which do not contain fault lines....

Go on a geologic adventure in this interactive, online trail guide to the Wallace Creek site on the San Andreas Fault.

A fault-line plan from 1911 of the principal faults in the Bullfrog district of southwest Nevada.

Discussion of liquefaction and landslides which are two of the many effects of earthquakes.

Complex analysis of many facets of "desire" in "Paradise Lost." Includes comparisons to Spenser's "The Faierie Queen."

Explains what earthquakes are, what causes them, the different types, tsunamis that can be caused by them, and how to prepare if living in an earthquake-prone area.

A complete, interactive learning activity covering the science of tsunamis, preparedness, research, and historical tsunamis. Excellent animations and real, historical recordings of survivors allow the learner to experience what happens...
