Thanks to National Book Tokens and lots of lovely book publishers and booksellers, World Book Day, in partnership with schools all over the country, will be distributing more than 14 million Â£1 World Book Day book tokens to children (thatâs almost one for every child/young person under 18 in the UK and Ireland).
What is the difference between folding and faulting? (1) Folding is the wrinkling of the earth's surface from slow lateral compression (2) Faulting is the rupture or breaking of the earth's surface from faster process. Name and define the two types of weathering. (1) Physical (Mechanical) weathering - disintegrates rocks without altering the chemical composition
Beyond plastic deformation, rocks fail structurally and faulting occurs. Folds may be isolated or may occur in extensive fold trains, and folding may range from the microscopic scale to mountain-sized folds in orogenic belts. Folds are classified according to size, fold shape, tightness, and dip of the axial plane. Folding can occur by flexural slip, buckling, or mass displacement under under varying conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature. Slumping of material before deformation causes synsedimentary folds. Folding orientation can produce: âª 1  anticlines. âª 2  synclines. âª 3  domes. âª 4  basins.
