Folding and Faulting

Folding and Faulting

1. Processes

   • Compression
     • Squeezed
   • Tension
     • Streched
   • Shearing
     • Bent and Broken

2. Ridge and Valley of Munster

   • African and Eurasian Plates ><
     • Compression
       • Buckled into Folds
         • W-E Trend
           • Trellised Drainage Pattern

3. Block Mountains

   • Ox Mountains
     • Normal Fault - Tension
       • Rift Valleys

4. African Rift Valley

   • Convection Currents create Tension
     • Land between faults fell
       • New boundary will form
         • Red Sea - Gulf of Aden
